If desired, return to this package and run make check after Coreutils has been built later in this chapter. Install the package: make install The shared library needs to be moved to /lib, and as a result the .so file in /usr/lib will need to be recreated: mv -v /usr/lib/libacl.so.* /lib ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /usr/lib/libacl.so) /usr/lib/libacl.so Contents of Acl Installed programs Installed library Installed directories chacl, getfacl, and setfacl libacl.so /usr/include/acl and /usr/share/doc/acl-&acl-version; Short Descriptions chacl Changes the access control list of a file or directory chacl getfacl Gets file access control lists getfacl setfacl Sets file access control lists setfacl libacl Contains the library functions for manipulating Access Control Lists libacl
