Hi Steve A !

I want to bring up a somewhat minor compilation annoyance, which has 
been present for a while.

I typically compile the application on "multilib" systems (i.e. mixed 
64-bit and 32-bit systems), which are usually running Slackware Linux 
(or some derivative of Slackware). However, I do most of my work in 
64-bit "space", and so compile 64-bit versions of Scid vs PC.

When running the *configure* script, it correctly guesses the locations 
of tk and tcl *include *and *lib *files. Then, it decides:

*"Location of X11 library: /usr/lib"*

...when it should be */usr/lib64 *.*
*

I would fix it by editing the Makefile:

TK_LIBRARY  = $(TCL_LIBRARY) -ltk$(TCL_VERSION) -L/usr/lib -lX11

is changed to:

TK_LIBRARY  = $(TCL_LIBRARY) -ltk$(TCL_VERSION) -L/usr/lib_64_ -lX11

Without that change, *make* draws on 32-bit X11 libs during compilation, 
and the compiled program crashes randomly, as can be expected :-)

I looked into the *configure* script, and the issue is that it lists 
*/usr/lib* before */usr/lib64*, when setting *libraryPath *and 
*x11Path*. As I don't usually install 32-bit versions of *tcl* and *tk*, 
*configure* guesses correctly for them.

I do not know if switching the default search order within the 
*configure* script will cause issues for most other folks, but that 
would be my request :-).

Thanks for all the work you put into Scid vs PC!
