I think installing (by default) in /usr/local/lib is reasonable, and that distributions should include this directory in ld.so.conf, since this is where any library you install not from source should go. The fix is for make install to check if this directory is in /etc/ld.so.conf, and if not, then add it there. If someone knows how to do it in a makefile, please tell me, or send me a patch. -- Matan Ziv-Av. matan@svgalib.org ------------------------------------------------------------------ Unsubscribe: To: listbot@svgalib.org Body: unsubscribe linux-svgalib
