Re: Linker Problems

Hello,

Thanks for the prompt reply!

Yes I did double check that line in ld.so.conf and it is okay. I even
ran ldconfig -p to check the ld.so.cache file and see if the actual
files from the directory were in the cache and they were. So I am rather
confused as to why it will not link unless I specifically use -L to show
the path. As I said I am not very concerned about it since it seems to
work just fine when I do use -L so it is only a slight annoyance. I will
update though if I figure anything out and would still appreciate any
input anyone may have who maybe experienced the same type of trouble and
how they fixed it.

Thanks again
Isaac

I would closely look at that entry in ld.so.conf. There may be leading
or
trailing spaces or some minor mispelling that's somehow throwing it off.
Once I added the path to ld.so.conf I no longer had to specify the -L
path,
so to my mind there must be something wrong with the line in the conf
file.
