<pre>version: systemd-196
system: debian unstable, i686
Debian currently installs systemd, udev, and pam libraries in /lib, despite the
/usr merge. But still, configuring with "--libdir=/lib" or with
"--libexecdir=/lib" or with "--exec-prefix=/" or with "--with-rootlibdir=/lib"
makes no distinction between /lib/ and /usr/lib/. Thus then, installation
either fails to install with the error
libtool: install: error: cannot install `libgudev-1.0.la' to a directory not
ending in /usr/lib
or fails to install in /lib/.
Similarly, configuring with "--with-rootlibdir=/lib", install fails with
libtool: install: error: cannot install `pam_systemd.la' to a directory not
ending in /usr/lib/security
1) If "libgudev-1.0.la" has to go into "/usr/lib", then install it to
/usr/lib/, not into "libdir" or kin, and similarly, with "pam_systemd.la".
Yes, there is "configure --with-pamlibdir=/usr/lib/security" - but - does that
not seem silly, instead of just installing to "/usr/lib/security/"?
2) Please play nicely with others - though you might still try to persuade the
Debian Maintainer, Tollef Fog Heen, to stop using /lib/ for systemd. Does
there need to be an additional "configure" option for a /lib/ install?
3) "configure --sysconfdir=DIR" defaults to "/usr/etc". Again - this would be
easier if the default were simply "/etc" instead.
