Hi all. Maintaining the IRAF package, I've added the ability to use shared libraries. This saves considerable disk space, and is also good for runtime efficiency.
The libraries are built with IRAF, and are used to compile the build system. Then, the rest of IRAF is built with that. I'm presently creating the shared libraries from static ones (which is also how upstream does it for solaris; it was never implemented on PC). The IRAF executables are the only ones that will ever use the libraries, so they shouldn't go in /usr/lib/libfoo.so. The package "iraf" will provide the executables and the libraries (I hope). How can I modify the path to the libraries? During compilation, the build system has to see $buildpath/iraf/lib/libfoo.so.0, but once installed, the executables must see /usr/lib/iraf/iraf/lib/libfoo.so.0. There are a bunch of executables, so I don't want to have to use a script to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or such. Please ask if I'm not clear..
