compilation - Linux vs Solaris - Compiling software -


background:

at work i'm used working on solaris 10. have sysadmins know they're doing , can out if required.

i've compiled things apache, perl , mod_perl source without problems.

i've been given redhat server play , hitting problems. sysadmins out sick @ moment.

i keep hitting problems regarding ld_library_path when building software. @ moment test purposes compiling home directory, don't have root, or permissions install anywhere else.

i plan on having area under /opt install into, on solaris, i'll need out sysadmin around create us.

my .bashrc had nothing ld_library_path i've been appending things stuff built (e.g. ffmpeg source). i've been reading , apparently isn't way go, it's not reliable or something. don't have access ldconfig (permission denied).

now quetions:

what best way build applications under linux won't break? creating entries under /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ ?

can give brief overview of ld_library_path does?

from ld.so(8) man page:

  ld_library_path           colon-separated list of directories in search elf           libraries @ execution-time.  similar   path  environment           variable. 

but honestly, find admin. become 1 if need be. oh, , build packages.
