Jerry, you can use:

rpmquery --queryformat '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n' xyzzy

to find out the architecture of an installed package "xyzzy".  Your
program will need to use the same word size as the libs you want to
link to.

"rpm -q" doesn't show you whether it is a .i386 or .x86_64 package,
which is occasionally annoying.
