I can't get launchd.conf to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, but for some reason it doesn't set anything else either. But DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is settable, at least in some ways:
dhcp33-gc5:~ sean$ DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=hello env | grep "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=hello I would recommend trying the support including in the build system for setting environment variables. Create a file kepler/module-info/environment.txt and specify the value there. You can look at r/module-info/environment.txt for an example. Note that as in the example, you can (and possible must, I'm not sure) specify separate values for all three of the platforms that Kepler supports. - Sean On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 11:27 AM, Joe Futrelle <jfutre...@whoi.edu> wrote: > I tried that, didn't work. > > Again, I have no problem setting system-wide environment variables in > launchd.conf.
