.SH NAME
rheolef-config \- get installation directories (rheolef-7\&.1)
.PP
    
.SH "EXAMPLE"
.PP
The following command returns the Rheolef libraries directory: 
.PP
.nf
  rheolef-config --libdir

.fi
.PP
 An environment sanity check writes: 
.PP
.nf
  rheolef-config --check

.fi
.PP
 
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This command is useful 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\&. The \fCrheolef-config\fP command returns these settings\&.
.PP
Note that \fCrheolef-config\fP could be used in Makefiles for the determination of linker flags\&.
.PP
Another useful feature is the \fC--check\fP 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: \fCbindir\fP 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 \fCbindir\fP\&. 
.PP
.nf
  rheolef-config --shlibpath-var

.fi
.PP
 Since it is a common mistake to have incorrect values for these variable, for novice users or for adanced ones, especially when dealing with several installed versions, the environment sanity check writes: 
.PP
.nf
  rheolef-config --check

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