Ok, I'll correct you :-). First of all ld.so.conf doesn't exist on a
Solaris system (in fact you don't need it on a Linux system either if
your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is setup properly). In Solaris you set your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH and everything works ok (I've installed egcs
this way and also glib and gtk+ and all works well). Second, I always
specifiy a install path because the default path is /usr/local and I
want to install somewhere else so I just can type rm -fr
/install/path/to/gnome and begin from scratch (very useful when you have
several libraries in different versions).
