I have a problem compiling exiv2, the files are retrieved from SVN OK
and ./configure runs OK and it compiles, but at link time:-

    /usr/lib/libexpat.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    make[1]: *** [lib] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/chris/tmp/digikam/exiv2-svn/src'
    make: *** [all] Error 2

Is this an issue with my system being a 64-bit system?

BTW the file format is:-

    home$ file /usr/lib/libexpat.so
    /usr/lib/libexpat.so: symbolic link to `../../lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0'
    home$ file /lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0
    /lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386,
    version 1 (SYSV), stripped
    home$
