i guess, adding your libdir path to /etc/ld.so.conf disqualifies it as "a simple package".
i would really be interested in a solution for this.
Thomas had this working with flext, I don't know the details, it's possible. At the very least, you can have a mechanism like Pd does, opening it's own .so libs (aka .pd_darwin, .pd_linux, etc) without touching ld.conf.
no, the latter won't work, because the external depends on functions provided by the libtkwidkget-library. it will therefore refuse to load, unless the dynamic linker is able to resolve the missing names during initialisation.
therefore i don't know how you would insert an explicit loader mechanism (like the .l_i386 thing)
and i thought, libflext.so was installed into /usr/local/lib, no?
Mac OS X and Windows both look in "." for libs to load, AFAIK. I am not sure about GNU/Linux, but I am sure there is a way.
