When compiling use the -L flags to specify other dirs >(e.g. -L/usr/local/lib -l<mylib>). > >----- >Chris D. Faulhaber - jedgar@fxp.org - jedgar@FreeBSD.org Correct, the -L I am aware of. My problem is that I am trying to compile a program that uses a configure script to check certain things, among which are that ld can find all libraries specified with the -l flag. The problem is that that this particular configure script does not honor my -L flags that I try to pass it, so it fails. The whole thing works on Linux, which is where this particular program was developed (I think). I can get it to work by making symlinks from the libs in /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib, but this completely defeats the purpose of having a /usr/local/lib... I could hack the configure script, but aside from being a pain in the butt (it is a 44,000 line configure script!) I don't want to have to do that for every program that I try to install that expects ld to be able to find standard libraries. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
