Vorbis - Jan 2002 - Problems Building Ogg Vorbis RC3

Because I am not a programmer, I usually avoid compilers and source code.
However, because there are no precompiled packages for Ogg Vorbis RC3 yet, I
decided to download the source and try compiling on NetBSD 1.5.2.

Now, one thing that I noticed is that there is no /usr/local in NetBSD. User
added packages go into /use/pkg. So before I started, I created a symbolic
link from /usr/pkg to /usr/local.

libao and libogg both configured, compiled, and installed without error. But
when I tried to move on to libvorbis, it told me that it couldn't find ogg,
or ogg/ogg.h. I get the same error with vorbis-tools.

Any ideas?

<p><p>Thanks!

One relatively easy way to handle all this (and skip the symbolic link
step) is to build each package this way:

./configure --prefix=/usr/pkg
make

That will make sure everything is installed to /usr/pkg/{bin,lib,include} and
it will tell each package where to find the headers.  You may also have to:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pkg/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

to ensure that the linker knows where to find your ogg libraries.
