fontconfig and /lib64 (FC6 64) +garnome-2.17.92

["Justin Conover" <justin conover gmail com>]

I'm not sure what the appropriate fix is, but fontconfig wouldn't install with the following error:

"/usr/lib/libexpat.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format"

Looking through, in the work dir there was EXPAT_LIBS = -lexpat
then doing ./configure --help I saw --with-expat-lib=DIR 

So I did a make clean and then edited the top level make file to include: --with-expat-lib=/usr/lib64

It built and installed, so far so good:
