I'm not sure how to force Perl to check there, because I don't think
it's a Perl thing, it's an OS-level loader thing.
Try editing /etc/profile, add the line
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
Then on the line which reads "export..." append LD_LIBRARY_PATH
This will ensure that the environment variable is set correctly for
every user who subsequently logs on.
HTH,

Hi,
The Perl 5.005_03 software on my Solaris 2.6 box did not have the
GDBM_file module in it, so I removed it, installed GNU gdbm software,
and re-installed Perl 5.005_03 that I got from CPAN. However now every
time I run Perl the system gives
me this message
ld.so.1: perl: fatal: libgdbm.so.2: open failed: No such file or
directory
It did not happen with the old Perl copy.
If I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib then run Perl, there is no
problem.
Do you know why How can I 'link' this LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting into Perl
so that I do not need to have it explicitly set every time I run Perl.
(And also I do not want other users on teh system to explicitly set it
in order to run Perl).
Thanks
Long
