Re: Building emacs errors: libraries present

[torys.anderson@gmail.com (Tory S. Anderson)]

Okay; I've succeeded finally in building by soft-linking all the libraries it SHOULD have been finding into the main directories. I'm not sure why it cannot use libpng 16 and instead requires 15. E.g. I did this:
    sudo ln -s /anaconda/lib/libpng15.so /usr/lib64/
Taking care of any non-found files that way solved all problems. 

ldconfig looks interesting, but I don't seem to have a manpage on it. Unfortunately, it didn't solve the issue. Soft links seemed to do the trick for me.

In summary, I get NO configure errors (as long as I do sudo configure), but I get the following make error (even with sudo make, which I know is probably a dangerous command):
