Hi!
To have a "clean" install on /usr/local, i use stow. With
stow, you install one program in a directory and stow makes links into
/usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc...
With this method, i've only links in /usr/local/lib (for
example the gtk libraries are in fact in /usr/local/stow/gtk/lib and
are linked into /usr/local/lib).The big problem is that ldconfig
doesn't see the links (it's specified in the man page). So for my
system, autoconf doesn't see the libraries in /usr/local/lib ...
So here is my two questions:
Is there a way to have only links in /usr/local/lib and pass through
the ldconfig problem?
Do i need libraries only during compilation of an application or does
the application use them when it runs?
Regards
Jerome
