llvm installed in /usr/local seems to be incomplete

[gerddie]

In this build llvm-config for version 5.0 is found:

  Found llvm-config: /usr/local/clang-5.0.0/bin/llvm-config (5.0.0git-929163d)

but later llvm-config reports

llvm-config: error: libLLVM-5.0.so is missing

so it seems something is wrong with the set-up.

Do you know why your tool is looking for a file with that name? Such a file does not exist in the LLVM 5.0.0 archive.

It's a bug in the meson build system, they explicitly search for the dynamic library that is typically provided on Debian+derivatives. Sorry for the noise.
