It's been a long time since I've worked on HPUX, but I recall that the shl*
routines
support the SHLIB_PATH environment variable, completely analogous to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
I don't see why anyone should be having a problem here. Someone with access
to a
machine and manpages should of course correct me if I'm misremembering.
