Re: gEDA-user: GTKWave build problem

[Paul Anderson <panderson@alphabetatech.com>]

Maybe you got me a little closer - I looked at the config.log for 
building GTKWave, here's what I found:

...
...
configure:8148: checking for xml2-config
configure:8166: found /usr/local/bin/xml2-config
configure:8179: result: /usr/local/bin/xml2-config
configure:8187: checking for libxml - version >= 2.4.0
configure:8291: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include/libxml2   
conftest.c -L/usr/local/lib -lxml2 -lz -lpthread -liconv -lm  >&5
configure:8294: $? = 0
configure:8296: ./conftest
./conftest: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory
configure:8299: $? = 127
configure: program exited with status 127
configure: failed program was:
#line 8210 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <libxml/xmlversion.h>

int
main()
...
...

-----  When I run xml2-config I get  -----

[root@PaulsLinux root]# xml2-config --cflags
-I/usr/local/include/libxml2

----- So I tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH  -----

[root@PaulsLinux gtkwave-2.0.0pre3-20030319]# 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/include
[root@PaulsLinux gtkwave-2.0.0pre3-20030319]# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

sigh, to no avail, same message.

any thoughts?  Maybe I need to learn how to handle the mysterious 
"prefix" stuff...  paul
