UNCLASS: Trends on Solaris 8

[Hand, Nathan]

I'm not sure that Solaris uses /etc/ld.so.conf or ldconfig. I certainly
can't find either on my
Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 boxes. There is a /var/ld/ld.config file but it is
not human readable.

I believe the way to do what you want on Solaris is with the crle command.

	$ crle 

	Configuration file: /var/ld/ld.config
	  Default Library Path (ELF): /usr/lib

	$ crle -l /usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
	$ crle

	Configuration file: /var/ld/ld.config
	  Default Library Path (ELF): /usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

		Just one point about copying files into /usr/lib. Usually
/usr/lib is
		used for files that belong to packages, not user compiled
packages. This
		doesn't break things at all. But it can save troubles in the
future
		(i.e. remembering what was copied into /usr/lib, what
version, any other
		related files, etc.) if you leave the file in /usr/local/lib
and add the
		path to /etc/ld.so.conf, then run `ldconfig`. This tells the
linker to
		search /usr/local/lib for libraries to link to when the app
starts. This
		can also help you in the future, in that if you compile a
lib that
		defaults to /usr/local/lib (which most do) you won't have to
copy files
		around. 

		just my $0.02 (CDN)

Thanks.
