Sridhar Iyer commented on BIGTOP-280:
-------------------------------------
Can't pkg-config be used to find these libraries, instead of compiling a dummy
file and running ld on it? Most pc files have a "libdir" variable in them that
can be used to get the path of the library. We need to verify if .pc files are
packaged uniformly across all the distros for this solution though.
