Just to be clear about something, /etc/ld.so.conf tells the dynamic linker, ld-linux.so, where to search for libraries at run-time. At build-time, your using the linker ld. It searches in directories specified by -L on the command line and then a few standard directories. So, when building, ld needs to be instructed to search in an alternate location, just like telling gcc to search for headers with -I. Most of the time you don't have to worry about this because configure and/or pkg-config take care of this for you. In this case, Python couldn't figure it out and added -L/usr/X11/lib as the fallback. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
