...try and set environment variable KISYSMOD itself [period].
(having the term "library search paths" in that same sentence could cause
confusion, since
it mixes mutually exclusive paradigms.)
not: "...use any of the library search paths."
(The sooner we can stop talking about library search paths the less confused I
will be.
This whole effort is an attempt to kill off that concept.)
KISYSMOD is merely a path fragment, i.e. an abbreviation, not a search path.
It is no
different than any other environment variable which you might use in an fp lib
table,
except that Wayne makes a big effort to set KISYSMOD for you if you forget.
