Thank you Alexander. >Do not do what you did! OK, I removed those entries from my profile. >What is the exact error message you get? Did you run configure without >error message? The error occurs during make? You have all necessary >libraries installed for you compilation? Here is sample output of the install. I received no errors of failed dependencies, all necessary libraries seemed to be installed. I just continue to get the following error message pertaining to LIBDIR. All of the necessary library paths are in my ld.so.conf file, I just want to know how to resolve this error message. My apologies if I'm not giving you the information you ask, tell me what else you need me to provide. ------------------------------- Libraries have been installed in: /usr/local/lib To link against installed libraries in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must use the `-LLIBDIR' flag during linking. You will also need to do one of the following: - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable during execution - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf' ---------------------------------- ---original message--- > When compiling some software from source, I get an error message > complaining that the make process cannot find my LIBDIR path.
