I feel like this is a stupid question but I'm stuck.
Yesterday I nuked sid and installed ubuntu. I compiled libgc and installed it into /usr/local. I checked and the files are infact in /usr/local/lib. but configure is unable to find libgc. How can I tell configure where it is? I try running configure with "LDFLAGS=/usr/local/lib ./configure" and I get a message like "C compiler cannot create executables".
More info: Ubuntu installs libgc 6.3 into /usr. so I'm assuming that configure finds this first and dies. I'm trying to build autopackages so the goal is for it to be linked in staticly. Any suggestions?
It was suggested that I just install libgc6.4 into /usr. That would be an easy way out (and what I remember doing last time). But I thought I'd hang on and see if there was any good lessons waiting for me.
