have a compile problem

[Keith Antoine]

This has reared its head recently whereby dependecy libs are not being found 
by a program that is being installed.

The libraries do exist on the system and should be in the PATH, so why is it 
that they are not being found. This is not limitted to any particular lib, 
however some are found, it seems inconsistent. Ldconfig being called 
sometimes is a waste of time:

ld.so.conf has these entries in:
/usr/X11R6/lib
/opt/kde/lib
/opt/kde2/lib
/opt/kde3/lib
/usr/lib/qt2/lib
/usr/lib/qt3/lib/
/opt/volution/lib
/usr/lib/
/usr/local/lib/
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/opt/kde/bin


For instance I have tried installed the rpm both it and a src rpm which do not 
fine the following 
libaviplay-0.7.so.0
libesd.so.0
libpng.so.2
libSDL-1.2.so.0

If I do a locate on the system it comes back with :
/usr/local/lib/libaviplay-0.7.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libaviplay-0.7.so.0.0.3
/usr/local/lib/libaviplay-0.7.so.0.0.6
/usr/local/lib/libaviplay.la
/usr/local/lib/libaviplay.so
/usr/local/lib/libaviplay-0.7.so.0.0.7
/usr/local/lib/libaviplay-0.7.so.0.0.8

/lib/libpng.a
/lib/libpng.so
/lib/libpng.so.2
/lib/libpng.so.2.1.0.8

/usr/lib/libSDL-1.1.so.0
/usr/lib/libSDL-1.1.so.0.5.3
/usr/lib/libSDL.so
/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0
/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0.0.4
/usr/lib/libSDL.a
/usr/lib/libSDLmain.a
/lib/libSDL-1.1.so.0
/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0
/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0.0.4
/lib/libSDL.a
/lib/libSDL.so
/lib/libSDLmain.a

/usr/lib/libesd.so.0
/usr/lib/libesd.so.0.2.8
/usr/lib/libesddsp.so.0
/usr/lib/libesddsp.so.0.2.8
/lib/libesd.so.0
/lib/libesd.so.0.2.8
/lib/libesddsp.so.0
/lib/libesddsp.so.0.2.8


Most seem to occur in 2 seperate areas, but /lib should be in the PATH and 
they should be found.

This is occuring with Office beta install from a tarball, its also occurs as I 
said with src rpms and as dependencies with rpms.
