LD_LIBRARY_PATH gets special treatment. Because complete operation of SB2 is based on a preload library, LD_LIBRARY_PATH (and LD_PRELOAD, too) are needed internally. But it has been taken into account that the user might have other requirements for LD_LIBRARY_PATH; therefore SB2 does some invisible changes to that variable before and after execs. What you see in the user-visible environment is the user's LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and then there is a separate SB2's LD_LIBRARY_PATH. SB2 combines those two for the real exec calls, but it also hides what is actually used. Note that by default there is no user's LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment for a session. The session won't inherit it from outside. but you can set it inside the session. > Changing it with sb2-config will break my whole scratchbox environment > (unsetenv helps here, of course). Yes, that seems to be a bug. "sb2-config setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH=..." causes problems at startup (the bug is in sb2-monitor, related to option -e) As a workaround, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH inside the session. > > This shell script doesn't work either: > > #!/bin/bash > LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/my/own/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" > $@ Does it help if you export LD_LIBRARY_PATH in that script? As there is no user's LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment by default, your assignment in the script does not change the environment. It only sets a local shell variable which doesn't affect anything. I just tested these things, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH features still work in 2.3.54.
