I ask because not everything on a system is done by a sysadmin, and if a _normal_ _user_ wants to use a program that requires extra dynamic libraries the obvious way to do this is via LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but if this clashes with existing libraries lots of things can fail to run. To me, that is broken. Clearer ? P. -- pir pir@pir.net pir@shore.net pir@net.tufts.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
