This is not just for the program in pkg or ports collection. I'm now build the stardict (http://stardict.sourceforge.net), which I have installed all the prerequired lib such as popt which located in /usr/local/lib/libpopt..... But when doing ./configure
it showed checking for poptStrippedArgv in -lpopt... no configure: error: popt 1.5 or newer is required to build stardict. You can download the latest version from ftp://people.redhat.com/sopwith/popt/ and config.log showed as following: configure:23010: checking for poptStrippedArgv in -lpopt configure:23040: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lpopt >&5 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpopt collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I have tried to do some config for the ldconfig related such as add shlib_dir=/usr/local/lib in /etc/rc.conf.local or set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib as sysenv parameter. they either can't make it work. what should I do then?
