Not yet. I am still waiting for the dev team to check.

echo $INSTALL_PREFIX/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf && ldconfig

Thank you for posting your solution, sadly its a system wide change that shouldn’t have to be done for compiling. While it works, I don’t think its a good solution or viable one for all when you want to build packages.

For some reason the makefile isn’t passing the -L/opt/gvm/lib64 or -L/opt/gvm/lib properly to gcc or its ignoring it.
