Not all directores in the search path are there, a typical Red
Hat/Fedora Core installation won't even mention @libdir at . From ld.so(8):
The shared libraries needed by the program are searched for in
various places:
o [...]
o From the cache file /etc/ld.so.cache which contains a
compiled list of candidate libraries previously found in the
augmented library path. [...]
o In the default path /lib, and then /usr/lib. If the
binary was linked with -z nodeflib linker option, this step is
skipped.
I.e. you will miss all libs on RH/FC.
Would it make sense to have a proper autoconf setup? lib/lib64
detection etc works fine there. What do you think? I have the
impression that we might be reinventing the wheel.
