You can easily check where they install, by inspecting each port's pkg/PLIST. Usually, the installed directory is the one the library intends as a default, so other software that uses those libraries finds it easily. The installation is conditioned against the user's setting of PREFIX, because not everyone wants to use /usr/local. The only ports I've had problems with are the tcl ones, for reasons that are very well known. All ports that use those libraries are already set up to find the required libraries correctly, with no modifications at all, irregardless of local PREFIX settings, as long as those settings are stable on any particular machine. > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
