From b71fa262b54398399821e89d01d984f46e24d2e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Bremner Date: Tue, 29 May 2018 19:03:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] configure: check for links to/from libdir in ldconfig output If e.g. /lib is a link to /usr/lib, then the latter may not show up in the way we expect in the output of ldconfig. 'test foo -ef bar' checks if foo and bar have the same device and inode numbers. Since (at least in bash, dash, ksh, and zsh) the shell dereferences symlinks before applying the test, this includes both the case where file1 is equal to file2 and the case where one is a symlink to the other. --- configure | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/configure b/configure index 3cefdcc6..ab7e1610 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -715,7 +715,7 @@ elif [ $uname = "Linux" ] || [ $uname = "GNU" ] ; then IFS=" " for path in $ldconfig_paths; do - if [ "$path" = "$libdir_expanded" ]; then + if [ "$path" -ef "$libdir_expanded" ]; then libdir_in_ldconfig=1 fi done
