Hello,

last night I upgraded (sucessfully I think) to ELF.
I followed the ELF HOWTO and got through OK, apart from renaming 
libc.so.4  to aout (thank God I had a boot disk, and was able to fix it!!!)
at 2.30 in the morning.

OK so everything works, but when I go to compile as a test, XDaliclock 
and knews for example (both X11 apps) I get libraries not found in linking.
(these both went fine with gcc 2.5.8)

I ran ldconfig and all the directories are there in /etc/ld.so.conf
so that's OK.

When I look into a makefile generated by Imakefile, I see USRLIBDIR and 
the like point to /usr/X11/lib/ not to the new directory that the HOWTO 
told me to put all my libraries in - /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib
Editing the makefile of course is not the solution.

I am certain this is the problem.  Am I correct?
If so, where is the file that determines these settings, and what else do I 
need to do?

Please help!
I put off ELF long enough, realising something like this might happen.
At least this is better than Win95 - and worth it too!

Hi.
ELF version of XFree-3.1.2 has /usr/X11R6/lib/i486-linuxaout subdirectory
for old a.out libs.
You'd want to upgrade to this version of X to compile in ELF.
Otherwise you'll have to edit Makefiles anyway, to set "-b i486-linuxaout"
and "-m i386linux" flags to gcc and ld resp.  You might as well edit the 
paths for your configuration, there's nothing wrong with that (usually :-).
Just add "-L/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib" to ldflags.
