linking, libraries, user build and linux

[George Georgalis <george%galis.org@localhost>]

Hi,

I've run into this a few times before... building packages on linux
fails because missing libs. I don't know what the best solution is but
in the past I've extended /etc/ld.conf to include /usr/pkg libs; in
this case I'm trying to deploy pkgsrc as a user so that won't be an
option.

I'm going to try building /cake/pkgsrc/lang/gcc46 (as I write this)
with the hope the missing libs will be provided that way.

Is this the best way to go about this?

Is there a "lighter weight" method to build libraries within pkgsrc to
remove dependency on system libraries?

Am I going aout this totally wrong?

I'm using linux kernel 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5 on CentOS release 5.6,
build errors below.

Best regards,
-George
