I personally don't use it, I too get the "=> not found" message unless I put the ldd command in a script that does an EXPORT of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
I was just curious. Thanks for the info tho.

I'd say "avoid the useless cruft"; as far as I know, SRCDS sets the paths correctly before the ld.so magic, and if you have set some bad paths while compiling, you might even end up with some old versions of the dylibs (from the hidden buttcracks of your file system) being loaded... later maybe even crashing SRCDS because of some sort of mismatch. ... so I wouldn't do it. My fix should do well enough without the crash-type dangers. (I hope I remember correctly that SRCDS sets the path right...) ~~ Ondra _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
