Hi, Firstly, this is not a Debian specific question, but hopefully the solution should be universal. I have a machine (running RedHat EL4) on which I do not have administrative access, just a normal user access. I have extracted some rpm binaries in my home directory. I want the following paths to be searched for shared libraries (along with the default ones from /etc/ld.so.conf): $HOME/usr/lib $HOME/usr/local/lib How?
I have the following lines in .bash_profile (bash is my default shell): export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/usr/lib:$HOME/usr/local/lib export LD_LIBRARYPATH="Nonsense" # just a stub When I log into this machine from a VT or remotely (ssh) I have LD_LIBRARY_PATH as expected (as well as LD_LIBRARYPATH). But, when I login locally (to a KDE session) and start a konsole (or xterm) LD_LIBRARY_PATH is absent, LD_LIBRARYPATH is present though. If I have the same lines in .bashrc, then both the variables are present in konsole/xterm. So, something is "unset"ing LD_LIBRARY_PATH after .bash_profile is executed. What is the right solution? Is there a better solution than using LD_LIBRARY_PATH? -- Regards PK -------------------------------------- http://counter.li.org #402424 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
