NAME

       rheolef-config -- get installation directories

EXAMPLE

       The following command returns the rheolef libraries directory:

               rheolef-config --libdir

       An environment sanity check writes:

               rheolef-config --check

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  is  usefull when linking executables with rheolef: libraries locations are required by the
       link editor.  Such directories are defined while configuring rheolef, before to compile and install see .
       Installing}'.  The rheolef-config command returns these settings.

       Note that rheolef-config could be used in Makefiles for the determination of linker flags.

       Another  usefull  feature is the --check option.  When rheolef is installed in a user directory, i.e. not
       as root, the sane run-time environment depends upon two environment variables. The first one is the PATH:
       bkindir  directory  may  be  present  in  PATH.   The  second  environment  variable is related to shared
       libraries, and its name is system-dependent, e.g.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH on most platforms  and  SHLIB_PATH  on
       HP-UX.  Its content may contains bindir.

               rheolef-config --shlibpath-var

       Since it is a common mistake to have incorrect values for these variable, for novice users or for adanced
       ones, especialy when dealing with several installed versions, the environment sanity check writes:

               rheolef-config --check

       If there is mistakes, a hint is suggested to fix it and the return  status  is  1.  Instead,  the  return
       status is 0.
