There is a problem with using 'libdir'.

Without --libdir=xxx, configure script converts "@libdir@" into

"${exec_prefix}/lib". It is valid in Makefile; it is invalid

in gtags.conf.

Do you have a method to settle this?

Why do you want to use .so instead of .la?

The purpose of libtool library is to reduce OS dependence, 

and .la is a common extension for every OS.

Hi,

 

gtags.conf.in lists the location of the shlibs for the bundles plugins,

namely ctags and pygments. The paths used are of the form

 

@prefix_QUOTED@/lib

 

where this should acutally be set according to $libdir which

may be customize by the user when invoking configure.

In particular, some linux distributions use $prefix/lib64

for 64bit and $prefix/lib for 32bit libs.

 

As a separate issue, I'm don't understand why gtags.conf has

paths to the libtool .la files instead of the .so files. But in that

I may simply be uninformed.

 

For reference, here's the associated issue on the fedora bugzilka:
