Description Gustavo Ribeiro Alves 2007-02-24 13:35:05 UTC 
When trying to compile and run a 3rd part software against graphviz I found that graphviz libraries are installed at:

/usr/lib64/graphviz/

This directory was not on my ld.so.conf .After appending this line there the 3rd part program worked as expected.



Reproducible: Always

No, they are not; they are installed in /usr/lib64; the stuff in /usr/lib64/graphviz/ are graphviz language bindings and are just fine where they are.

Sorry but this is not a support forum for fixing broken third-party stuff.

My suggestion is to leave them there, but add a new env.d file with an LDPATH pointing to them. This whay they will appear on ld.so.cache.

Not our problem, closing.
