Of course it's bad to set it for all users. Any commercial or any other 'official' application shouldn't mess with those global settings. But I'm not talking about that usage. I'm talking to set it just for your application. I have seen many commercial applications doing that —a launcher script that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH *in that shell* and then executes the process, so it uses the dynamic objects bundled with the application instead of system ones. -- Alberto _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
