Sorry about that.
Ah, see what you mean now; any other system with those properties would need to have the libraries installed into a bindir where they could be found. Do you know of any such systems off the top of your head? > You don't test paths with a '../' component in it.

Good point. I'll add some and see what happens and fix any bugs arising before I post the respin. I'd better check for './' components too. cheers, DaveK
