It supports LD_LIBRARY_PATH. In an ideal world - where every developer did things right - you'd never need it on any system. We don't live in such a world. In particular, OSX tends to ship with obsolete versions of *very* popular Unix libraries. So much so that you wind up having to choose between building obsolete versions of the tools you want, losing valuable features and bug fixes; or building current versions of libraries in the system, leading to having to make sure your code and only your code finds it - even when you're dynamically loading frameworks that want to use the system version of the same library. On Windows, the problem is so common it's been given the name "DLL hell". <mike -- Mike Meyer <m...@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
