> 'make install' copies expat and sablotron libs into foldres
Yeah, but don't forget the idiot geeks like me who're too impatient to wait
for a make install to complete and just want to see it work. :-)
Good point about not putting it into /usr/lib -- I used to be very careful
about where I put stuff, but in recent years /usr, /usr/local, and other
directories have all gotten fairly blurred in my mind. Sorry for the bad
suggestion, and thanks for correcting me...better to keep people from
learning my particular brand of bad habits!
I guess rather than figuring out the right way (I was too lazy to try
LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- I'm not on UNIX boxes enough anymore that I keep any
active interest in profiles, etc., so I didn't think of that), I just
cheated.
BTW, I checked /etc/ld.so.conf -- it already had /usr/local/lib in it.
Running ldconfig as root loaded the libxml and libsab libraries into the
cache file, and sabcmd now works fine from /usr/local/lib. Could this be
something that could (or should?) be added to an automake? In any event,
I'd never seen ldconfig (being as all my UNIX experience is from older BSD
variants), so thanks for showing me a new, useful tool...
Thanks again for the good summary, and for your patience with those of us
who don't pay attention to what we read in READMEs...
david.
