Description Vladimir Berezniker 2005-03-03 07:01:51 UTC

I have update to lvm2-2.00.33-r1 with readline USE flag.  At lvm fails to initialize because it cannot load libgpm.so.1.  That library is installed in /usr/lib and I have the whole /usr under lvm so its a chiken and the egg problem.   Would it make sense for gpm to be in /lib since many core apps might use readline and indirectly gpm.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure to have sys-libs/gpm
2. Build lvm2 with readline support.
3. Put /usr/lib/ under lvm volume

Here are the corrected sentences:

Yes. In my opinion is VERY bad situaiton! If /usr/lib set in LVM, LVM don't working :-(
