Thanks a lot for all this detailed and useful information :)<br />Regards,<br /><br />Juan<br /><br />&gt;&gt; I've added /usr/local/lib to
/etc/ld.so.conf and now it works.<br />&gt;&gt; What I don't understand is why the linker didn't complain (the<br />&gt;&gt; problem was when
executing),<br />&gt; <br />&gt; That's actually the way dynamic linking works under UNIX: You tell the<br />&gt; linker<br />&gt; which libraries
to link with, but aren't tied to this library location<br />&gt; when<br />&gt; you deploy the program (e.g. on a different computer). Hence you use
the<br />&gt; -L directive to tell gcc/ld where to look for libraries (shared or<br />&gt; static),<br />&gt; and have to edit ld.so.conf to tell
the dynamic linker (the program<br />&gt; which<br />&gt; looks through all referenced dynamic libraries for symbols when you<br />&gt; start<br
/>&gt; your executable) where to look for libraries when running executables.<br />&gt; <br />&gt; Note, that you don't have to edit ld.so.conf: you
could instead set<br />&gt; the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the library location (works like<br />&gt; the PATH environment variable, so you can
provide multiple paths<br />&gt; separated by colons). This way you can accomplish your task without<br />&gt; super user privileges. Note, that the
variable is called<br />&gt; DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH<br />&gt; on Mac OSX systems.<br />&gt; _______________________________________________<br />&gt;
