don't want to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH repeatedly

lucky6969b · 04-12-2006, 05:01 AM

Currently relying on export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
don't want to do that everytime I start a session
Any way that I can fix that at system startup
also how do I set this variable in KDevelop
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Jack

Add "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=something" (without quotes) into /etc/profile.

Hi -

Please look at this thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=408083

or this link:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Li...libraries.html

In particular (if the "session" you're referring happens to be KDevelop itself):

Quote:

Put the path into /etc/ld.so.conf and after this run ldconfig.

Otherwise, if the problem is with an executable you're developing, then you might wish to try:

Quote:

-Wl,-rpath,$(DEFAULT_LIB_INSTALL_PATH)

Cheers!
