Thanks both to you and to jure for your replies to this question. env-update doesn't put it right. However I do have an /etc/ld.so.conf with all the right directories in it. LDPATH is supposed to be generated using /etc/ld.so.conf, is that right? If so, why isn't it working? LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a variable I would need to set manually, isn't it? I'd rather avoid doing that if possible if there is something that is supposed to set the path automatically. Here is my ld.so.conf, just in case there is some bad syntax in it or something that would cause the problem: # ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to # contents of /etc/env.d directory /usr/local/lib /usr/athena/lib //usr//lib/opengl/ati/lib /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5 /opt/intel/compiler70/ia32/lib /usr/lib/nspr /usr/lib /usr/lib/mozilla /usr/lib/openmotif-2.2 /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/lib/i686/ /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/lib/i686/native_threads/ /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/lib/i686/client/ /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/lib/i686/server/ /usr/lib/qt4 /usr/kde/3.5/lib /usr/qt/3/lib /usr/kde/3.3/lib /usr/lib/nss /usr/qt/2/lib /usr/games/lib /usr/lib/fltk-1.1 /opt/kylix3 /usr/lib/libstdc++-v3/ -- Robert Persson That's MISTER Scum to you. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
