[Bug 517044] Re: ldconfig does not know about /usr/lib/firebird/2.0/lib

[Wolfgang Rohdewald]

libib_util.so IS used publicly by many other UDF libraries.

how should I link my own xxx_udf.so if I have no idea where the user has
her libib_util.so installed? The firebird default is /opt/firebird.

if you invent a new path for a new firebird version or for whatever
reason, will you relink all installed udf libs and notify all UDF
authors? No? See!

if the user installs firebird directly from firebirdsql.org without
using debian packages, she probably has yet another path for
libib_util.so and I have to debug her installation with no help from
firebird because firebird produces no useful error messages for this
case.

your solution means a LOT of trouble for the UDF developer. This is no
acceptable solution IMHO.

Would you please be so kind to also look at bug report 419198. Sorry I
did not see that one before, at least it is marked as "in Progress"
since 4 months and not as "Invalid".
