To make the links to the library.
ldconfig $(LIBS) The original "make install" takes then everything from a local libs directory (the $(LIBS) and links) and moves them to the /usr/local/lib. To handle this, I have changed the original to say just: /sbin/ldconfig -n $(LIBS) Now the original "make install" can be called from debian/rules just using the fakeroot. The correct links are created this way. From what I understand, the postinst is run on the machine where the package is installed. Therefore it seems normal to me to put a ldconfig there. So, please make me understand this, as things starts to become more unclear with any new letter. What do you propose me to do ? TIA, Ionutz
