If you need LD_LIBRARY_PATH for *anything*, then file a bug. The person who compiled and linked that application didn't do it right. He used "-L" but forgot to use "-R". For what it's worth, though, I looked at (ogled?) ogle, and saw no such problems. Everything in /opt/csw/lib/ogle was linked properly. > It has been suggested to write wrappers for programs so that you dynamically > add the library when the system starts. > But this means having to manage wrappers with every program. No. It means insisting that those who compile programs and deliver them for others to use learn how to do that task properly, so that users aren't left in the cold to hack around the problems. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
