Why LD_LIBRARY_PATH did not work but LDFLAGS did?
Hello, a few moments ago, I tried to compile lynx. It complained about the lack of ncurses. I downloaded it, compiled it and then installed it to non standard directory.
Going back to the lynx, I expected to pass ncurses location to it through a .pc file and PKG_CONFIG_PATH. However the version of ncurses that I installed does not have . pc file.
Then I passed the location of ncurses "lib" dir to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and exported it. It did not work, lynx configure was not able to find it. Then I decided to use LDFLAGS=-L'..../ncurses/lib/'. And it did work! The question is.......why?

What LDFLAGS does that LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not? Thanks for your time

hman(1) General Commands Manual hman(1)
NAME
hman - browse the on-line manual pages
SYNOPSIS
hman [ -P browser ] [ -H host ] [ section ] name
hman [ -P browser ] [ -H host ] [ section ] [ index ]
DESCRIPTION
The hman script is an interface to man2html(1) that allows you to enter man page requests at the command line and view the output in your
favourite browser. The behaviour reminds of that of man(1) so that many people will be able to alias hman to man. If the browser used is
netscape, and an incarnation of netscape is running already, hman will pass the request to the existing browser.
OPTIONS
-P browser
Specify which browser (like lynx, xmosaic, arena, chimera, netscape, amaya, ...) to use. This option overrides the MANHTMLPAGER
environment variable. The default is the non-httpd version of lynx, or sensible-browser if lynx cannot be found.
-H host
Specify from what host to get the man pages. This option overrides the MANHTMLHOST environment variable. The default is localhost.
ENVIRONMENT
MANHTMLPAGER
The default browser to use is selected using this environment variable.
MANHTMLHOST
The default host to use is selected using this environment variable.

man(1), man2html(1), arena(1), lynx(1), sensible-browser(1), netscape(1), xmosaic(1), glimpse(1)
