find libraries

[Rick Sivernell]

All

  I have moved my desktop machine from genttoo, unable to get things just to run
propely, to Suse 9.0. I am trying to build some programs, Eterm and scite and
others, b ut ./configure is not finding some of the required libs, yes I went and
got them, built them and most go in /usr/lib, some are in /usr/local/lib. the
ld.so.conf has these directories in them and the ldconfg -v | grep lbast* finds
the lib in /usr/local/lib. What eles do i need to done to get other programs to
see my new libs. I am trying to build all code insttead of rpm. On getting xfce4
I have the tarballs but is their an easy way to build the many tarballs?

cheers
