Installing opera-1.0.1195 build date Wed May 14 16:06:50 HST 2014
on akua.

Not a bug, a request. It looks like each library installation is followed by the following paragraph, that is therefore seen >> 5 times... seems quite redundant:

Libraries have been installed in:
/h/manset/opera-1.0/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:

  • add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
    during execution
  • add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
    during linking
  • use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
  • have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

    It is an informative message that is automatically generated by the build system. It happens whenever a library is installed into opera-1.0/lib/.
