Thanks for your assistance - could you help me in understanding the command above? I assume chroot is used here to limit ldconfig only to the c225 dir - would ldconfig otherwise mess up the previously scanned libs? > - Unpack the phoenix package into c225/bin > - Make a shell script containing > > cd /path/to/c225 > export >LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/c225/usr/local/lib:/path/to/c225/usr/lib:/path/to/c225/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib > exec /path/to/c225/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /path/to/c225/bin/phoenix-bin Just curiously grepped for LD_LIBRARY_PATH in some dirs and noticed that perl seems to use this environment variable too. Is there some source of standard env. variables? - I have read so many howto's but never came across this topic and it does interest me.
