Re: Compilation/use problem

[alaric portone com]

Check to see that 1.2.8 got installed to the same location that 1.2.7 was
installed previously.  The default location with a vanilla ./configure
uses /usr/local as the root location (putting the libraries in
/usr/local/lib)  if 1.2.7 is rooted in /usr then there's gonna be a
problem.  If the original install is an rpm I suggest removing it before
compiling/installing the new version.

If you do tell configure to root the install to the same location as the
previous install, everything should work just fine, however you will still
have the older libraries available (not a bad thing, but space consuming).
