If you check the README, there should be a section that says you should "unset LIBPATH" prior to running the software and this will force the software to use the libraries and paths embedded in the executable. >For running smbd, nmbd, winbindd, and swat, I wrote a >short script in /opt/pware/sbin that just sets PATH and >LIBPATH evironment variables and then runs the corresponding >program with all the desired arguments.

Your script should simply "unset LIBPATH" and launch the software with fully qualified paths. Then you should not need to alter /etc/profile, /etc/environment or any other file. :-) Cheers, Bill >---Hillel > >On Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:07:26 -0400 (EDT), William Jojo wrote >> >> Yeah, that's my bad.
