No, just the experience that there exist pieces of software that do expect certain paths to be available. As a MaxDB noob I just wasn't sure if it possibly is one of them...

It's just that this is the first time I tumble over it. I've used it, but I've only had the need to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH very, very rarely... > > > - I am also a bit puzzled on paths.
