Hi libtoolers,
I just installed a library with libtool (via automake generated rules)
and when trying to use the lib I get this:
error while loading shared libraries: libyat.so.9
which is going away if I issue
sudo ldconfig /us/local/lib
My question is why is that even needed, as I thought libtool already did
that. No?
I've noticed the message at installation
---8
Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/local/lib
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

So I've followed the last bit there and added a file
'/etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf' that contains '/usr/local/lib' to make
the runtime linker aware of '/usr/local/lib'. Yet I need to do a
ldconfig manually every time I install something. Am I missing something
or doing something wrong? This is on RHEL6.
Cheers,
Peter
This is on RHEL6 and I've added
