Re: gEDA-user: Trouble with debian install

Hi,


	Yeah, I don't know anything about Xandros, but I highly 
recommend Debian.  I did another apt-get dist-upgrade this weekend
(to testing) and as usual went down without a hitch.  

	Anyways, back to your e-mail...

	Have you run ldconfig (or ldconfig -v ) recently?

	As John pointed out, /etc/ld.so.conf is used when the runtime
linker (ld.so) searches for libraries, does that file contain the
directory where these libraries live?  You can also manually set that
library search path by setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
