Here's the basics. cvsup'ed 3.1-Stable system. Everything I have installed is ported. No problems whatsoever except... For several weeks now I have been trying to understand why applications not located in the ports tree that I try to build refuse to locate libraries I have installed. For instance while trying to compile WebMaker for KDE, the configure complains that it cannot find libraries like kimgio, libpng, libjpeg etc. It's driving me absolutely up the wall. I've searched every mailing list I could find. I've searched the gnats databases, I've even tried asking on the IRC #freebsd channel (Which by the way is NOT a good place to ask questions of this nature). Could someone PLEASE give me a clue as to why ./configure scripts are not finding installed libraries even though they are installed and are indeed the correct versions. I never had similar problems in 2.1.6 release so I can only assume it's a fundamental change in 3.1 that is causing this confusion. It does appear to happen with ANY "modern" configure script so maybe this confusion should really be resolved at the system level. I have reported it in gnats as billf suggested I do so in IRC. I have gone through the whole ldconfig -aout -r etc. The libraries are there and are accessible. Configure scripts just refuse to see them. ANY advice would be appreciated!
