Hi,
I'm resending this patch because it hasn't been committed nor commented so far
and the problem it fixes is a blocker for distributors.
Summarizing the problem again: src/Makefile.am contains code to run
/sbin/ldconfig after the shared library has been installed. While this is okay
for the usual "./configure; make; make install" build, it is a blocker for
packaging purposes because ldconfig doesn't work as non-root, it just breaks
the build, and binary packages are never ever built as root (this is forbidden
by policy).
I'm attaching a patch that fixes this problem by not running ldconfig if
DESTDIR was set. Running ldconfig does not make any sense for DESTDIR builds
(as used for packaging purposes) because it updates the linker cache in the
real root and not in DESTDIR. Binary packages have to run ldconfig in their
postinstall scripts.
For the records: There are alternative ways to fix this. I've checked the
binary packages from Fedora, Mandriva, Debian and Ubuntu and they are all
simply removing the $(LDCONFIG) line, obviously breaking the purpose of it.
This patch is a solution that should work for both use cases: DESTDIR packaging
and "normal" builds. I'd like to see this fixed upstream instead of
distribution-specific local hacks.
