Ciao,
while building and installing the latest release of some GNU
package on a x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, Slackware 14.0, I stumbled
on this problem:
* Slackware packages install libraries under "/usr/lib64"; they
come with .la files.
* My custom installations put libraries under "/usr/local/lib";
.la files are installed with me doing nothing to them.
* Some custom installations of packages making use of the GNU
Autotools like the stack GMP, MPFR, MPC correctly find
installed libraries under "/usr/local/lib"; so I see:
$ ldd /usr/local/lib/libmpfr.so|grep gmp
libgmp.so.10 => /usr/local/lib/libgmp.so.10 (0x00007fc545c32000)
$ ldd /usr/local/lib/libmpc.so|grep '\(gmp\|mpfr\)'
libmpfr.so.4 => /usr/local/lib/libmpfr.so.4 (0x00007f21524fa000)
libgmp.so.10 => /usr/local/lib/libgmp.so.10 (0x00007f2152281000)
* Some GNU packages, a subset of which is also installed by
Slackware, fail to find libraries under "/usr/local": they find
libraries under "/usr/lib64".
It appears that the problem is some interference from the .la
files installed under "/usr/lib64": if I (temporarily) remove
*all* of them the installations succeed; I am unable to find
which ones among the Slackware's .la files cause troubles.
The full inspection of the problem for Gnutls is in the thread
"[gnutls-help] on finding nettle under /usr/local rather than
under /usr (GNU+Linux 64-bit system)" at:
