> Ok, is it agreed then that using LD_OPTIONS for -R is a Good Thing(tm)? LD_OPTIONS is a useful tool. As is LD_LIBRARY_PATH for linking to libraries in temporary locations (but don't run with it as RPATH should know best). The problem with LD_OPTIONS is it sets the same parameters for all which might not be appropriate. One of your executables might need, e.g., /opt/csw/bdb4/lib first but maybe not all would - although, assuming the right lib is eventually found, it only wastes the linker's and user's time, just as those bad RPATHs cause the runtime linker to look for files that don't exist. Use LD_OPTIONS if it works. James. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
