Warning - Beware launchpad.net libraries!

Warning - Beware launchpad.net libraries!

I have come across a strange problem when using libbabl and libgegl
downloaded from launchpad.net.
They were needed to make my Gimp packages

The launchpad libraries are stored in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/

Puppy linux uses /usr/lib/ for library storage

I was using a simple drag of /usr procedure to make my final
gimp packages ( pet and sfs). After the drag procedure
I would make the pet using 'dir2pet' command and the sfs with
'mksquashfs' command.

Apparently 'dir2pet' knew that there was problem with the location
of the libraries and corrected the mistake, whereas 'mksquashfs'
didn't make the correction. The result was that
my gimp sfs package would complain at the terminal that libgegl
and libbabl weren't installed.

I have corrected this now by putting libgegl and libbabl in /usr/lib/

.
