Re: how to install library in a specific directory?
Why don't I need to run ldconfig manually after installing other official softwares, like osip2? I tried ldconfig -p and saw the library was aware of, i.e., listed, before running ldconfig. But linkage could not find the library then. And can I ask another question? I want to build some source code files into this library and need to distribute some other files, too.

I tried ldconfig -p and saw the library was aware of, i.e., listed, before running ldconfig. But linkage could not find the library then. Linux distro installers execute ldconfig for you. If you look carefully, you'll see that the last stage of installing software (either new or updated) is to run ldconfig. On my Opensuse 11.1 Linux installation, when I install new software packages from within YaST, I can see ldconfig's output just before the installation process completes. If you use RPM manually, you may have to run ldconfig yourself after installing packages in order to pick up the changes immediately. And can I ask another question?

how to install library in a specific directory?
I have two projects. One generates a shared library and the other uses it. The library is to be installed in /usr/local/lib/ezproject, while the project' s name is ezcommon. I have problems in both the projects. ezcommon's configure.ac, … AC_INIT(ezcommon, 3.0) AC_DISABLE_STATIC … ezcommon's Makefile.am, lib_LTLIBRARIES = libezcommon.la libdir = $(exec_prefix)/lib/ezproject includedir = $(prefix)/include/ezproject Problem is, if user configure --libdir=..., the user's definition will be ignored. How can I set libdir only when user does not assign it? (Since this dir name is not same as project name, I cannot use pkglib_.) The other question is how to check for this library in the other project, named ezcmd. ezcmd's configure.ac, ... AC_CHECK_LIB([ezcommon], main,,AC_MSG_ERROR(...)) ... This check will fail, since ezcommon is installed in /usr/local/lib/ ezproject by default. Should I add LDFLAGS=-Lezproject or sth.? And how? Or should I add this directory to system's link-search directory?
