see ``Why LD_LIBRARY_PATH is Bad'' at http://www.visi.com/~barr/ldpath.html
for an explanation of why.


For those interested in that article by David Barr, the link to it no
longer works. However, it has been reposted to:

The original is still archived here:

Mike, maybe you didn't look at how we use LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It is set as a temporary variable for specific calls to build instructions in the lfs chroot environment.

We have to tell the installing programs to look in /tools/lib because we have not built and installed the needed libraries into /usr/lib yet.

That is really one of the intents of the variable: using temporary libraries. It is not permanent.
