Difference between LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_FLAGS?
 
New to Unix, running SUSE 10.0 on an x86_64 machine. Wondering wha tthe difference between the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable and the LD_FLAGS variable is. Do they not pretty much do the same thing?

Thanks.

I guess you crossposted. Bad.

Difference: LD_LIBRARY_PATH is for system dynamic linker. It is used when you run compiled ready program.
LD_FLAGS is for compiler's linker. It is used by make (gcc and ld ignore it..) when you are building program, not when you run it.
