2.7: selection to path procedure lookup failed.

I'm trying to have coexisting a locally built 2.7 and a packaged 2.6.8.

2.6.8 goes to /usr/bin and /usr/lib and 2.7 installs into /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/bin

I start 2.7 via a shell that export LD_IBRARY_PATH and updates the PATH so tha the /usr/local stuff goes first.

2.7 seems to work (all tools I tried worked, especially the 2.7-specific cage tool) except when I try to transform a selection to path, for which I get:

"Selection to path procedure lookup failed."

If I recall correctly, my freshly built, bytes-still-wet, 2.7 did work correctly, so I must have broken something when playing with the system load paths. Can anyone suggest where to look?

Just a couple of tips:
* Don't install into a prefix in a prefix, rather use /usr and /opt * You shouldn't need to set LD_IBRARY_PATH when you run (only when you ./configure) because built binaries will have library paths hardcoded in them through rpath [1], unless you disabled that.

Ain't me... I used all defaults in the Git build scripts.

OK, will look that up.

Thanks.

Well, the default prefix is for when you want to override an installation in /usr, if you don't want that, which is the case here, it is your responsibility to change it to something else. Pass --prefix=/opt to autogen.sh or configure.

Worked a treat. Now both versions seem to coexist peacefully. Thanks.
