Hi, I am currently developing an app that uses two libraries (ClanLib & MySQL++). I installed clanlib through configure, make, make install as the clanlib package for debian is way too old. Clanlib is installed in /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/include, and /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig. If I don't set the path variables (PKG_CONFIG_PATH & LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to the paths mentioned, I get errors about header and library files (.pc, .so.0) not found. PKG_CONFIG_PATH comes in for both compilation and linkage. LD_LIBRARY_PATH comes in when I actually run my app. My question is why is pkg-config not configured to check in /usr/local/lib? I thought it was by default. I tried to search the web on how my app searches for shared libraries, but couldn't find anything helpful. Can you show me some docs that talk about that?
I know I am a newbie when it comes to Linux (less than a year using it extensively). So excuse my lack of knowledge about this. I did try to check manuals, google, etc.. but I got not answer to my questions. Thanks, ib __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
