I’m getting this error when compiling an application I downloaded from GitHub:
HEAD is now at a80e4c8 config now remembers whether you want focus checking or not
warning: Pulling without specifying how to reconcile divergent branches is
discouraged. You can squelch this message by running one of the following
commands sometime before your next pull:
git config pull.rebase false # merge (the default strategy)
git config pull.rebase true # rebase
git config pull.ff only # fast-forward only
You can replace "git config" with "git config --global" to set a default
preference for all repositories. You can also pass --rebase, --no-rebase,
or --ff-only on the command line to override the configured default per
invocation.
Already up to date.

dnf provides \*/vibrant gives me nothing and I have installed all the required dependencies. libvibrant from GitLab compiled properly this time, too.
Well, dnf won’t find it because libvibrant is not in the Fedora repositories: a search gave me nothing. You’ve compiled libvibrant from source, so you need to tell this new project you are installing where you’ve installed it. Where is the vibrant/vibrant.h file installed by your libvibrant compilation? You need to specify this directory to the compiler using the -I... option.
@FranciscoD Thanks. I’m quite new to Linux, so I’m still trying to figure out how it works. Unfortunately, I did not know how or where to append -I, so I went with @lcts’s solution.
Be careful with sudo echo "/usr/local/lib64" >> /etc/ld.so.conf because the version I have on Fedora 32 has include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf and it might be better to make a single-line file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d like sudo echo "/usr/local/lib64" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local-x86_64.conf
Note, neither of those should actually work. The sudo applies to the echo and the redirection (>>) is run by the shell, which is running as the user. Since this is creating a new file, a way to do this is:
$ echo "/usr/local/lib64" | sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local-x86_64.conf
You’re right. From a command line, I usually sudo bash and then run the commands at a # prompt and exit when I am done. From inside a script, another alternative for commands with redirection is sudo /bin/bash -c "echo /usr/local/lib64 >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local-x86_64.conf"
