Like akkartik before me, I'm having some trouble. Here's my story:

  Started from a barely used Linux Mint 12 installation.
  
  Installed libgmp-dev, check, and git. (The packages pkg-config,
  autoconf, automake, and libtool were already installed.)
  
  Created an SSH key and set it up with GitHub.
  
  mkdir -p ~/mine/prog/repo
  cd ~/mine/prog/repo
  git clone git://github.com/dido/arcueid.git
  cd arcueid
  autoreconf -i
  ./configure
  make
  
  Got the following error, among other output:
  
  /bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..     -g -O2 -MT compiler.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/compiler.Tpo -c -o compiler.lo compiler.c
  libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -g -O2 -MT compiler.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/compiler.Tpo -c compiler.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/compiler.o
  compiler.c: In function 'macex':
  compiler.c:81:9: error: 'debug' undeclared (first use in this function)
  compiler.c:81:9: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
  make[2]: *** [compiler.lo] Error 1

The most recent commit is https://github.com/dido/arcueid/commit/3423ed0caf38b485002a7....

Help? :)

Do a git pull. Oops, some debugging code I was using temporarily made it into the repo. Will try to ensure this doesn't happen again. Last commit should be: fdeb76087b48ff19d9f2666d05a4429ac4145b24

Okay, that helps a lot.

  $ git pull
  (...)
  $ ./configure
  (...)
  $ make
  (...)
  $ make install
  (...)
  /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/lib/libarcueid.so.0.0.0': Permission denied
  (...)
  $ sudo make install
  (...)
  $ arcueid

  $ src/arcueid

  $

What do you think about that error? I don't see anything obviously amiss, but then I don't know what to look for. ^_^;

  $ which arcueid
  /usr/local/bin/arcueid
  $ ls /usr/local/lib | grep arcueid
  libarcueid.a
  libarcueid.la
  libarcueid.so
  libarcueid.so.0

  $ git log

Try adding the single line

  /usr/local/lib

to the end of /etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig -v. This is a frequent issue when it comes to shared libraries that get installed in /usr/local/lib. I have no idea why most Linux distros don't like to put /usr/local/lib in ld.so.conf by default. It is extremely irritating, since most everything one builds from source installs there by default.

That works!

Interestingly, this is what /etc/ld.so.conf looked like before:

  include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

And this was in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf:

  # libc default configuration
  /usr/local/lib

The "include" line doesn't seem to do what it looks like it's supposed to do. :-p The man page for ldconfig doesn't mention "include" at all (nor #-comments...). It would be funny if Linux Mint came with this kind of ld.so.conf but its version of ldconfig thought "include" was just another directory in the list.
