Yeah, DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH is generally preferable, since it appends its values to the default lookup path, while DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH requires you to specify every directory where you want the linker to look. The latter provides more control, but also requires more detailed tweaking. Make sure that you're not setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH globally, too. Fink normally unsets the user's environment when building to reduce the risk of issues from user customizations, but it doesn't necessarily affect more global settings, e.g. from /etc/profile. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
