undefined symbol: vte_terminal_set_cursor_position despite vte-ng installation. #747

This is not an issue but am trying to find where linking went wrong.

I successfully installed vte-ng with ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr. I was able to build termite. But I get this error:

~/local/termite $ ./termite -v
./termite: symbol lookup error: ./termite: undefined symbol: vte_terminal_set_cursor_position
~/local/termite $ ldd ./termite | grep vte

This change to Makefile did not resolve the issue:

-LDFLAGS := -s -Wl,--as-needed ${LDFLAGS}
+LDFLAGS := -s -Wl,--as-needed ${LDFLAGS} -L/usr/lib

I cannot remove x86_64-linux-gnu/libvte-2.91.so.0 without breaking Linux Mint Mate. So, how can I make termite to include vte from /usr/lib and not the system installation directory?

Thank you.

Termite is obsolete. Please use Alacritty instead. See https://github.com/thestinger/termite#termite-is-obsoleted-by-alacritty for more details.-
