Re: [Tuxmath-devel] Configuring the source code.

Hi David,

>Is the linker on your system set up to handle libraries installed in

where to find the library, e.g. if you have >installed t4k_commonat
~/lib/t4k_common.so, you might try "ldconfig ~/lib" (not >tested).

I have my t4k_common and gettext installed at ~/tuxmath/builds/

So I ran "sudo ldconfig ~/tuxmath/builds/t4k_common-0.1.1/lib/"

Then going back to my tuxmath directory which is at ~/tuxmath/tuxmath/ , I
ran "./configure --prefix=/home/haris/tuxmath/builds/tuxmath/".

I got the output as:

configure: SDL_net not located by pkg-config, checking with AC CHECK LIB:
checking for SDLNet_Init in -lSDL_net... yes
checking for XML2... yes
checking for T4K_COMMON... no
configure: t4k_common not located by pkg-config, checking with AC CHECK LIB:
checking for InitT4KCommon in -lt4k_common... no
configure: error: libt4k_common is required: git://
git.debian.org/tux4kids/t4kcommon.git

The above are the last few lines.

>Or you could add your custom library path to /etc/ld.so.conf.

I edited the file above including the line "include
/home/haris/tuxmath/builds/t4k_common-0.1.1/lib/" in it. I saved it and ran
ldconfig. But the same error was there.

>Or youcould simply install t4k_common to the default
location(/usr/local/lib) where it >should be located without difficulty
(youmight have to run "ldconfig" once without >arguments the first time
youdo this on your system).  Look at man ldconfig.

Installing in the default location would work fine as I had done it the last
time. But since I'm trying to keep everything that I build from source in a
custom location, I'd like to get this working.

Thanks for taking the time to help me.
