Description Mark Hatle 2005-07-13 14:23:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
RPM can incorrectly pull in libraries and include files during configuration
from /usr/local.  (In a normal environment, if /usr/local is to be used for
files these are usually passed in to configure.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RPM-4.4.2

Additional info:

The code in question is in the configure.ac file, it starts w/ "localdone=" and
ends just before the "AC_MSG_CHECKING(for /usr/ucblib in LIBS)".

The attached patch removes this behavior.  (We have been using this patch since
RPM-4.3.)

Remove /usr/local behavior
Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2005-10-25 21:56:04 UTC 
The patch is a bit more drastic than necessary. All that is needed is to
not add "/usr/local" to $dirs. That way $prefix is still searched, and /usr/local
will be searched if that is the prefix.

Fixed in rpm-4.4.3-0.23.
