glib is installed in /usr/local.
/etc/ld.so.conf has /usr/local/lib as the first line, and doesn't have /usr/lib in it at all. And I have run ldconfig many times.
Various kludgey fixes for this brokenness have worked for other packages. export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" worked for gedit, and export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib worked for pango. But not ggv. I also tried to pass --libdir=/usr/local/lib. But ggv doesn't seem to care that I've told it in many ways to look in /usr/local/lib; it insists on looking in /usr/lib, because the files aren't there.
(And yes, I am rm -rf'ing the ggv source folder and re-un-packing it each time I try something else.)
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THESE INSTALLERS ARE LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACE. Please. Please help. This is so frustrating.
