[JDEV] how tell libjabber where libxode is?

[David Waite]

Looks like you installed libxode into the default destination,
/usr/local/lib. (with libxode-config probably being in /usr/local/bin)

Make sure that /usr/local/lib is in the system library path - it usually
isn't. Just make sure
'/usr/local/lib' is in /etc/ld.so.config, and then run ldconfig
(/sbin/ldconfig -v |grep xode)

/usr/local/bin is probably not in the default path either, you may need to
adjust that.

Finally, if you still have problems try configuring libjabber with
'./configure --prefix=/usr/local/'. I believe that it will assume libxode
installed to the same location if it can't get information from the program
libxode-configure.
