Instead, ethereal recommends use of the - LD_LIBRARY_PATH hack which causes all sorts problems. - - On SGI IRIX this is -rpath to the linker, on Solaris -R, on FreeBSD ELF - --rpath, etc. - - SOLUTION: Slip in my linker flags when configuring ethereal so it can - find libgtk, libgmodule, libsnmp, etc. at run-time without - LD_LIBRARY_PATH: - - env LDFLAGS="-rpath $HOME/software/gtk+-1.2.3/lib:$HOME/software/glib-1.2.3/lib:/usr/local/lib" configure --prefix=$HOME/software/ethereal-0.7.3 --with-gtk-prefix=$HOME/software/gtk+-1.2.3 - - BETTER SOLUTION: Modify configure to support RPATH for more platforms - than Solaris. - -[NOTE: configure is generated from configure.ac and acinclude.m4, and -all the linking stuff is done by libtool.
