Hello,

Hopefully someone here can confirm what is am doing is correct (or not).

I'm installing/compiling openh323 software and as a part of this i need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I need to set :-
PWLIBDIR=$HOME/pwlib
export PWLIBDIR
OPENH323DIR=$HOME/openh323
export OPENH323DIR
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWLIBDIR/lib:$OPENH323DIR/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

to do this i have edited '/etc/ld.so.conf' to include

/home/pwlib/lib
/home/openh323/lib

I'm assuming that this should point to the correct library directories but still seem to be getting errors.

Can anyone help?

Check your $HOME path. Your two entries in the /etc/ld.so.conf file should probably look like:
I assumed your user name is jkite.

You could put the script commands above in your .bashrc or profile files.
One problem I see with this is that the openh323 software is installed for use by a user, but you are setting up library paths for the system. You may want to install the software as root in /usr/local or /opt instead of your home directory. You could also try installing the libraries in a currently accessed library directory such as /usr/local/lib and rerun ldconfig.
