Comment 12 for bug 1852028

What's the deal here ?

Maintaining compatibility with some weirdo Linux platforms? Having Kicad running on some embedded Linux ?
Might not be an exact first priority requirement.

So, all the normal distros running Kicad are glib based.

You don't want to 'ldconfig'. Good. Many other products don't to it either. But they specifically use dlopen to manage their DSO.

You cannot rely on the system and not informing it as part of the install and not manage yourself that stuff (locating/loading dso).

Result is here : a stupid undue segfault. And when this occurs with a new user, you can be sure he is a lost new user. Never forget that you can do nothing with Kicad after a 'make install'
You still have to discover where/why/how add the components/footprints.

The bare minimum than can be done is writing 4 text lines of things to do to finish the make install job.
