Please regard this as a learning exercise for me so if I don't do
the exactly right thing I learn a little bit each iteration :-)
Anyway

Just curious why setting LD_PRELOAD for a single file complains
about BINDIR

That's almost definitely from your erlang entry in LD_PRELOAD.

As others have mentioned, setting LD_PRELOAD in your shell is
massively deprecated - you can and will get weird results.

When you're building your utility/app/whatever, use

LDFLAGS=-R/path/to/libs:/path/to/other/libs -L/path/to/libs 
-L/path/to/other/libs

that way the binaries will have the right search path baked into them
at compile time, rather than you needing to hack around them with
LD_PRELOAD afterwards.


As an aside if anyone can recommend good source/tutorial on linking
/ compiling in c I would be very grateful.

I recommend bookmarking this collection:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/45.27?l=en
OpenSolaris Software Developer Collection

and then having a read through the Linker and Libraries Guide
(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0690?l=en).


That will make you think of a lot of questions, soask.
