I had a Linux shared library problem on NetBSD that I think it might
be helpful to mention.
thunderbird (and firefox) set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to pick up their own
modules. When acroread is invoked to display a pdf attachment,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is still set, and this causes acroread to read a BSD
library. My workaround is to use a script for acroread that cleans
the environment.
I think this is a thunderbird bug; the environment of invoked programs
should match the environment as of thunderbird's invocation.
I had to make a change[1] to the Linux UT99 binary during install to
stop it from attempting to use FreeBSD's libGL.so due to its hard-coding
of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It may be evil, but it worked. :)
Once my system's SATA DVD drive works with RELENG_7, I will try to see
if I can fix linux-nwnclient. Skype may have the same "solution".
Mike, I Cc'd you to see if you can try using sed like I did in the
linux-ut port to "fix" nwmain. Using strings, you can see if
/usr/local/lib is hard-coded into the binary and replace it with an
equal length string that does not point to anything.
