Subject: Re: Mandrake 8.2 and FXRuby build issue...

I've been getting a similar message ever since I re-installed Mandrake
8.2 after my hard disk got toasted. I just now ran it down to the setting
of my LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Before, I simply set it to
/usr/local/lib, but I've determined that it actually must include
/usr/lib as well. That is:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

I had previously interpreted ld.so(8) to say that ld.so would always
search /usr/lib, but I now assume that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH must include 
ALL the directories to be searched, not just the libraries in addition 
to /usr/lib.

Since I don't remember having this problem before, I'm inclined to
believe that something changed in 8.2 recently. Perhaps a
Linux guru will explain...

HTH!
