finding dynamic library files?
andu...@home.com
insted of imlib...
problem: on doing the stand ./configre;make;make install the library is
installed in /usr/local/lib
question: how do i make the dynamic library loader 'aware' that it should also
search this directory as opposed to the 'standard' ones. i have come across
this problem b4, on istalling additional library;s they have been installed to
the /usr/local/lib directory BUT then programs that require them canNOT find
them and hence fail.

Make sure the path is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf and then run as root
'ldconfig -v' to update the cache. This is normally done once during
bootup and inside of RPM packages I think so normally you don't need
to do this manually. You can also 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path>' if a
non-root user needs to do it temporarily but that wont work with suid
executables obviously.
