@ -21,9 +21,10 @@ programs try to link using -lcurses instead of -lncurses. This symlink
ensures that such programs will link without errors.</para>
<para><userinput>ln -sf ../../lib/libncurses.so etc:</userinput> These
symlinks are created so the linker will use the dynamic versions of these
libraries instead of the static ones, which happens if the linker can't
find the dynamic versions.</para>
symlinks are created to tidy up the installation. It's good practise to
have the *.so files in /usr/lib as well as in /lib, to ensure that the
linker is always able to find the files whether it's looking in /lib or
/usr/lib.</para>
