If you need 64 you need to change some build files, so that they point to lib64 instead of lib. I'm working on a patch at the moment, will add it to the page soon, check back in a few days.

The commands to build mainpkg.files fail due to this. Doing a configure/make/make install results in only {prefix}/lib (no lib64). It seems %{libdirname} is either being set incorrectly or is being used in places it shouldn't be. I'm running CentOS 5.4 x86_64 and building Python 2.6.4.
