:
: As of Solaris 8 and later this is no longer true. crle lets you

Ah. I've not had experience with v8 (we have slow-moving customers).
Gary, take note.
: > (1) The Easy Way: Set the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable [...]
:
: "The evil hack way", and you probably meant LD_LIBRARY_PATH, not
: LD_RUN_PATH.
Argh, no. LD_LIBRARY_PATH has two horribly conflated uses (linktime
library path [-L] *and* runtime library path [-R]) and should never,
ever be used. Ever. Not even if you're Bruce Campbell and wearing a
chainsaw for a wristwatch. LD_RUN_PATH is supported by the runtime
linker at least as far back as Solaris 2.4, and is a slightly cleaner
form of evil.

: Which is what I suggested earlier.
Ah; must have missed that in the flurry. Gary seemed to be still
confused about what to do....
: > Software that requires CDE or BrokenWindows gets a bit more complicated.
:
: Not really, I build them all the time with no problems. I have a

: -R settings.
You must have a relatively recent Solaris. :)
