AIUI, either putting the lib in a standard location (/usr/lib) or adding a file to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and then running ldconfig (man ldconfig). The suggestion was that LD_LIBRARY_PATH affects all uses of shared libs and that can have unintended consequences. Perhaps /usr/local/lib is safe enough. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
