Are you referring to gcc's libs or the libs created by the application I
am compiling?

Ok I suppose I did not do that as I just did a 'make install' of mpayer
after build. Mplayer's libs would have gotten mixed in correct?? What is
the correct way to specify lib directory in a build. Is this a switch to
./configure or make install?

If this is the case I could search for creation timestamp and move them
out to a separate directory.

I forget how does one specify lib path? Would it ve safe to leave the path
be both libs at all times?
