(I read man 1aout ld) It won't intefere with ldconfig, but it will affect what the dynamic linker does. If you have "/usr/lib" in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH then the dynamic linker will find libc there, rather than in "/usr/lib/aout" as it should. I don't know why it didn't cause problems for you earlier. This was netscape, right? If so, there's an easy fix. The command that you execute for netscape is really a shell script which does some stuff and then executes a big binary somewhere else. You could add "unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH" to that shell script to work around the problem. John --- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
