bug#21398: can't compile 25.0.50 m17n-lib libotf-0.9.13 upgraded

Hello

I successfully compiled and installed 
m17n-lib and  libotf. I downloaded the latest git version and tried to
compile this time I obtained an error much later namely:

/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap
./temacs: error while loading shared libraries: libotf.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/oub/src/emacs/src'
make[1]: *** [src] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/oub/src/emacs'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

So m17n and libotf install per default in /usr/local

However it seems that Emacs expects them in /usr.

I will reinstall mn17 and libotf.

This is all very odd.

Emacs has no expectations.
It sounds like you are using a distribution where /usr/local/lib
is not included in the default runtime shared library search path.
You can fix that by a number of methods, eg set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable at runtime, add -Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib to
LDFLAGS when bulding Emacs, edit /etc/ld.so.conf.
