RE: 7z.so isn't found by testForLib

Well, /usr/lib/p7zip/ doesn't look like default path to be included in
ldconfig search paths.

 

That means whatever installed this library must add the path to
ldconfig, 

 

Install (of 7z lib) should create /etc/ld.so.conf.d/7z.conf containing
that path and run # ldconfig

 

If ldconfig -p doesn't list the .so, then linker will not find it, which
meant library is as good as non-existing (except for apps that know
exactly where it is).

 

So testForLib seems to work as it should.

 

(unless ldconfig -p does list it)

Subject: 7z.so isn't found by testForLib

 

A user on the forum has reported that "testForLib -v 7z.so" doesn't
work. See:
http://watteimdocht.de/autopackage/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=44

It's strange, because 7z.so seems to be missing in the list that
ldconfig -p returns. Does someone know why?
