[Q13] ``How do I configure GNU libc so that the essential libraries
like libc.so go into /lib and the other into /usr/lib?''
[A13] {UD} Like all other GNU packages GNU libc is configured to use a
base directory and install all files relative to this. If you intend
to really use GNU libc on your system this base directory is /usr. I.e.,
you run
configure --prefix=/usr <other_options>
Some systems like Linux have a filesystem standard which makes a
difference between essential libraries and others. Essential
libraries are placed in /lib because this directory is required to be
located on the same disk partition as /. The /usr subtree might be
found on another partition/disk.
To install the essential libraries which come with GNU libc in /lib
one must explicitly tell this. Autoconf has no option for this so you
have to use the file where all user supplied additional information
should go in: `configparms' (see the `INSTALL' file). For Linux the
`configparms' file should contain:
slibdir=/lib
sysconfdir=/etc
The first line specifies the directory for the essential libraries,
the second line the directory for file which are by tradition placed
in a directory named /etc.
