[OPEN-ILS-DEV] LD_LIBRARY_PATH Discussion

[Dan Wells]

Hello,

I'm starting a new thread rather than continuing to hijack the old one.

If I do not set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I get a bunch of errors like this:
Failed to dlopen library file oils_cstore.so: oils_cstore.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

Is there another way to address these issues, or is this an acceptable use of
this variable?  Should I use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or even
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH instead to catch these non-linked shared object
files which are not caught by ldconfig?

Thanks,
DW
