unfriendly makefile vs. sensitive Linux => KO

[Lindström Stefan]

Hi,

I installed commoncpp on my Mandrake Linux system. When running make install 
the ld.so.conf file was changed automatically to include /usr/local/lib. This 
was unfortunate since Linux wouldn't start after that. Removing /usr/local/lib 
from ld.so.conf and running ldconfig solved the problem, of course. I then set 
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include /usr/local/lib as usual and 
everything worked fine.

I've not changed any startup config or anything in my Linux, so it must be that 
Mandrake Linux does not tolerate /usr/local/lib to be included at startup. 
Since there is at least one system not supporting your Makefile I suggest you 
change it so that ld.so.conf is not automatically changed.

/Yours,

Stefan Lindström
