Absolutely. Just go ahead and remove this lib lookup weirdness. +1
from me and thanks a lot! Christian

Since gnc-modules.c does it's own search of GNC_MODULE_PATH, there should
be no reason to add it to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Yes, that's how I understood as well from my study.
(I went a bit overboard in my earlier letter. I should have checked the
manpage first: dlopen will search LD_LIBRARY_PATH if it's given a filename
with no file separators in it, so there's a case for using it in other
programs that don't have their own search mechanism.)
As far as I'm concerned, I agree here.
I'll remove the LD_LIBRARY_PATH modifying code from gnc_module, together with
the blending of GNC_MODULE_PATH with LD_LIBRARY_PATH via environment and
friends, and see if all still continues to work.
Thanks for your feedback.
Geert
