installing libraries

[Vincent Legoll <vincent.legoll@gmail.com>]

Hello (again),

I'm trying to do a kernel "make menuconfig", so I have to install some packages,
make, gcc, binutils, ncurses, glibc, linux-libre-headers...

but ncurses despite being installed, is not picked up...

vince@guixsd ~/tmp/build-linux$ ls $LIBRARY_PATH/*ncurses*
/home/vince/.guix-profile/lib/libncurses.a
/home/vince/.guix-profile/lib/libncurses++w.a
/home/vince/.guix-profile/lib/libncursesw.so.6
/home/vince/.guix-profile/lib/libncurses.so
/home/vince/.guix-profile/lib/libncursesw.a
/home/vince/.guix-profile/lib/libncursesw.so.6.0
/home/vince/.guix-profile/lib/libncurses.so.6
/home/vince/.guix-profile/lib/libncursesw.so

I've found that doing:
vince@guixsd ~/tmp/build-linux$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH

will make it work...

Is that the "right" way to do it ?

I seem to remember that the export LIBPATH line was hinted from some
package install (maybe gcc), so I put it in .bashrc...
