At this stage in chapter 6, the only ncurses library available is in /tools/lib. The build instructions for bc create a symbolic link to this library from what will be its final destination in /usr/lib. But readline, which also uses ncurses, is built before creating this link. It looks directly in /tools/lib for the library.
I'm just curious as to how that works and why these two dependent libraries are treated differently. I just ran ldd on libreadline and it now uses the symbolic link in /usr/lib. Would it have linked to /tools/lib/libncurses.so before? -- H Russman -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
