Description Max Loparev 2005-08-31 03:57:01 UTC
since this dir contains shared libraries such as sasldb that can be linked with
other application, the system must have a way to find them at runtime. So i
suggest to add something like:

echo "LDPATH=/usr/lib/sasl2" > ??cyrus-sasl
doenvd ??cyrus-sasl

to src_install section of the ebuild.

It is my understanding that apps should link to libsasl2 rather than to the
other libraries. So it is safe to have just libsasl2 visible in LDPATH to avoid
major breakages with apps linking to the other libs.

I'm closing this as ->INVALID since I don't consider it a bug, however, I might
be totally wrong here, so please reopen if you feel like.

Cheers,
Ferdy
