Hmmm, I found some problems with this:

shouldn't that be printf ?
No, there are no % formatting strings inside.
- @if test -f /etc/ld.so.conf -a -z "`grep $(libdir)
/etc/ld.so.conf`" ; \
shouldn't that be $(LIBDIR)
No, I am evaluating the libdir Make variable.
echo " Add the line '\$(libdir)' to/etc/ld.so.conf" ; \
I think that escaping the $ in this line is unnecessary as it this prints "$(libdir)" instead of the contents of that variable, and also libdir should be capitalized there too...
perl expands that to $(libdir), which make expands to /usr/local/lib.
If I would have use $(libdir) perl would have printed $( and libdir).
echo " exportLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(libdir):$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ; \
Same as above except that it doesn't apply to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH as we want "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" to be printed...
Hmm, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not printed correctly. But I do not know how to let make escape that correctly.
Btw, why didn't you try the code before complaining?
