X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: stevefranks@ieee.org List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2007 22:34:31 -0000 I'm trying to compile a non-port application for the first time ever. The associated library built and installed just fine - I can see them right in /usr/local/lib and usr/local/include/libnamefoo.h However, when I run ./configure for the application, it clearly can't find the libs. So my question is, should I be changing my path, is there a standard variable I need to export, or what? Obviously for ports this just works, so I've never had to do it. I'm sure there's a standard way, so I thought I'd get in the habit of doing that right from the start... Thoughts? Steve
