Now I'm not exactly a newbie, but this seemed the best forum for this
question. I've used linux for a number of years, but have never really
had to do much in the way of sys-admin duties (I would either just
reinstall or call over a friend if i needed a fix or new feature :) Now
I am wrestling with trying to upgrade my gtk+ libraries. What I am
realising is that my knowledge about how programs find libraries has all
just been picked up as I've gone. I'd like to read a more coherent
description of this process.
The specific problem I'm running into is that I've installed the latest
stable GTK library, but am getting errors. Could someone try to
describe the relationship of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ldconfig, ld.so etc. or
point me to some good documentation?
here's the problem I'm having right now:
[root@bw66 trygtk]# gcc try.c
