For #2, per Robert Silva's post:
"For #2, I believe he is referring to searching LD_LIBRARY_PATH
directories for libraries rather than hardcoding /lib everywhere
(which
is how its done now)."Unfortunately it's not that easy from what I remember.
with as it is common to specify the install root dir which we've
been
doing for ages.Supplying the install root is fine, but as we've seen, it's not
always
right and doesn't work. For a lib that's installed into /usr/lib64,
what's the install root?/usr of course.
Right, but that's still wrong. Since lib is hardcoded, it'll be
searching /usr/lib, which is not the place that's to be used. Thus,
it's not always good enough to just allow the install root dir to be
specified - sometimes, per my #3, a specific directory needs to be used.
Hehe, fair enough - let me know if you need another account (this
has
SuSE). How are things looking so far?AFAIK Joe is going to commit his patch, but we need to "fix" it for
the
PECL extensions too if applicable.
Ok, sounds good - I'm looking forward to getting this sucker compiled
once and for all :)
