So, we can say /usr/lib/libc. a is a 64-bit static library. The “elf32-*” indicates all object files in the library use 32-bit addresses.
Replace libjpeg by any library you want, and you have a generic, distro-independent* way of checking for library availability. If for some reason the path to ldconfig is not set, you can try to invoke it using its full path, usually /sbin/ldconfig . This should be accepted as the answer.
To know whether your system is 32-bit or 64-bit, type the command "uname -m" and press "Enter". This displays only the machine hardware name. It shows if your system is running 32-bit (i686 or i386) or 64-bit(x86_64).

I have this static library that was build from a previous programmer. However, he has left the company and we don't have the source code. All we have is the header files *.h and the libnet.a static library.
When I am try and link this with our application. I get a incompatible linker error. I think the problem is that the static library has been built on a 32 bit machine. And I am trying to link using a 64 bit machine. I could compile my application using the cflag -m32. However, I just want to know if there is any command that will give me if the static library was built in either 32 or 64 bit mode?
