Description Ingo Krabbe 2002-08-13 06:20:19 UTC

Is it really useful to add the LDPATH in ld.so.conf ?

I don't think so.  The
LDPATH=/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3
is a somewhat private path to gcc and shouldn't be exported
this way.  Any library that needs to be shared with other
binaries will be installed in ${prefix}/lib.

If this path is really needed I recommend to honour that by
changing the compilers spec file.

BYE INGO

This does not really hold for a gcc3 system.  Also putting libstdc++ in /usr/lib
cause problems with multiple installs of gcc.
