updated libraries are incompatible

Question

OS -> ubuntu 11.10( Yes,its quite old version but unfortunately we cant upgrade it)

Updated driver -> ftdi driver from libftd2xx.so.1.1.1 to libftd2xx.so.1.1.12

IDE -> ecillpse

Issue -> failed to include update library

Error ->

1. /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/local/lib/libftd2xx.so when searching for -lftd2xx

2. /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/local/lib/libftd2xx.a when searching for -lftd2xx

Overview:
I have embedded system which uses ftdi chip. I have to include some new functions in my coding so for that reason I have upgraded the library . Below are the following steps I have followed

• tar xfvz libftd2xx1.1.12.tar.gz

• cd build/arm926

• cp lib* /usr/local/lib

Copies the libraries to a central location.

• chmod 0755 /usr/local/lib/libftd2xx.so.1.1.12
• ln -sf /usr/local/lib/libftd2xx.so.1.1.12 /usr/local/lib/libftd2xx.so

Building the shared-object examples.

• cd examples

• make -B ( I followed these steps as written in their documentation but no idea why I did)

Run ldconfig

• sudo ldconfig -l /usr/local/lib/libftd2xx.so.1.1.12

Run file libftd2xx.a

o/p libftd2xx.a: current ar archive

May you guys please help me or point me where I am committing mistake . Thanks a lot
