Hi All,
I've managed to successfully make 0.20 on my Ubuntu box and the makefile is a *great deal* less hassle than the nightmare that I had building 0.12 (to be honest that pain was one of the reasons that I stuck at 0.12 for as long as I did).

However although I didn't have to hack and patch as I did previously it still failed during make install complaining about not finding libraries (it failed when installing the ha.la stuff - I thought it was laughing at me :-)).

I can consistently do a clean make if I do the following

export LDFLAGS=-L`dirname $(pwd)`/cpp/src/.libs
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install


In other words I need to do
export LDFLAGS=-L`dirname $(pwd)`/cpp/src/.libs


Fortunately I've needed to do this on previous versions, so it was the first thing I tried when make install failed, but I'm curious about it.

Is it just me??? Does anyone else need this to get make install to work?? Is it an issue with Ubuntu or just Ubuntu 11.10 or do any other Linux distros need this.


It's not a big deal, but if anybody else has seen the same issue I think that it'd be good to include the export LDFLAGS.... stuff in the README or INSTALL instructions.

I'd love to know if others have seen this.

Cheers,
Frase
