updating /usr/bin/ld path ???

n00bDanimal · 03-20-2007, 10:33 PM

I want to set the path /usr/bin/ld looks at on mac OS X 10.4.9, and I don't know what I need to change.

Thanks for any help in advance!

You mean that is different than in gnu/linux?
Not in /etc/ldconfig or /usr/etc/ldconfig ?

well, I didn't know if it was different than in gnu/linux, I've never altered the path /usr/bin/ld looked at. but no, those directories don't exist on my macbook.

Excuse my "altered" memory

: /etc/ld.so.conf

EDIT:
Or: /usr/etc/ld.so.conf
Or: /sbin/ld/etc/ld.so.conf

lol no problem.

nope, there's no ld.so.conf or ld.conf file anywhere on my machine. perhaps it's a .cshrch file?

So I screwed up because I didn't read or payed any freaking attention.

Something like:

Quote:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

is located in your user or in your system profile: like /etc/profile.

thanks a ton! the /etc/profile did the trick. just had to modify it to look under another directory
