Finding includes and libraries during software compile
Hi,
I have been using Debian for five or so years now and have basically learned
most of Linux on Debian, hence I post my question to this list. When I
compile software such as PHP with imap, Exim with Mysql, or PHP with
Openldap, I find that often the libraries or includes are not found even
though I have the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS set and even though I have DIR
defined in the configure option and even though I have added the correct
paths to ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. Often it requires much tweaking of
things to get the configure/make to find the libraries and includes.
Can anyone give insight into why this is the case in general? I assume it's
not Debian specific problem. Can anyone shed light on this issue?
Thanks,
Craig Jackson
