That would probably make no difference since on Mac OS X that variable is called DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (contrary to SysV Unices). > Bash (OSX default) and similar shells use this silly 2 part syntax: > > LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib > export LD_LIBRARY_PATH It's just your way of using it that makes it a 2 part syntax: export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib does the trick. And by the way: the bash construct is far less error prone regarding quoting when used in shell scripts. Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
