[Freehoo-users] Re: weird error configuring

[M.P.Anand Babu]

Hi Julian,
I'm sorry for replying so late. 

Did you add 
 /usr/local/lib 
path to your /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig. Because 
ld.so dynamic linker needs to know about the non-standard paths
to look for additional shared objects for dynamic linking.

If its already there, then its certainly a BUG in the build
script. We should fix it. 

I also assume you are using FreeHoo from savannah.gnu.org,
we have discontinued GNUYahoo for some political reasons.

FreeHoo was mostly developed on Debian GNU/Hurd and know to work on
Debian GNU/Linux, RedHat GNU/Linux. It would be interesting to
know what OS you are using. Because you are addressing these 
porting issues, You are also contributing to the project.
Thanks. 

BTW, Thanks for offering me beer. But unfortunately, I don't drink
alcoholic beverages, But lot of Coffee and Tea :D
