LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PROTOBUFDIR

[=JeffH]

FYI..

In compiling CT code <https://code.google.com/p/certificate-transparency/> I
found that this suggested make command..

$ make OPENSSLDIR=<path to openssl> PROTOBUFDIR=<path to protobuf>
GTESTDIR=<path to gtest>


..didn't work for me in the case of PROTOBUFDIR (I'd duly built and installed
protobuf). the linker persistently failed to find protobuf

Rather what did work was doing a..

$ setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/bin


This is on Ubuntu 10.04


HTH,

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for trying! :)

And you are right, the instructions are out of date; make now assumes a system protoc (-lprotobuf); or indeed you can point your linker to a local install.
