shadow hardcodes libmisc.la path, possible others too. Correct this before compile time (kdebase otherwise fails)

[gerard@…]

Current CVS instructions for shadow include this:

cd /lib && mv libmisc.*a libshadow*.a /usr/lib

However, when I was installing kdebase, kcheckpass complained that it=20 can't find libmisc.la in /lib. I moved libmisc.la back to /lib and it=20 worked. So it seems the location of the .la files are hardcoded=20 somewhere (either in shadow or in kde); perhaps it would be better to=20 adjust the install instructions for shadow to just move the .a files?

Why not do it the other way around. These are the instructions I use: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared && make libdir=/usr/lib && make libdir=/usr/lib install && mv /usr/lib/libshadow.so* /usr/lib/libmisc.so* /lib && ln -sf /lib/libshadow.so /usr/lib/libshadow.so && ln -sf /lib/libmisc.so /usr/lib/libmisc.so && rm /bin/vipw && ln -sf vipw /usr/sbin/vigr && mv /bin/sg /usr/bin/ && ln -sf vipw /usr/sbin/vigr &&

Sounds even better

I use a slightly more efficient version:-

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-shared

It saves typing "make libdir=/usr/lib" twice.

Added --libdir=/usr/lib to configure, changed mv command to mv libshadow.so* and libmisc.so* to /lib
