And don't forget to run ldconfig after editing /etc/ld.so.conf, otherwise everyone will say "the search facility is broken it doesn't work so let's just use rpath instead" again. And if you really can't edit /etc/ld.so.conf, as when you don't have root access, *only* then put LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/fredfoobar/lib into your environment. IMHO rpath is almost as evil as static linking. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQFB9iSb/FmLrNfLpjMRAp0XAJ4prJCID4vjYsaMlKr/UyAI6rcY3QCgmYJr p6mOSylxQsyGyTunnloqV6s= =cuzq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
