My installation of fedora-ds-1.0.1-1.RHEL4 puts executables

What would you all recomend as a "proper" way of modifying the $PATH
variable and of linking to the DS libraries?
If you don't mind overriding the system ldap commands, which are normally located in /usr/bin, you could do
$ export PATH=/opt/fedora-ds/shared/bin:$PATH

I don't seem to have any ldap binaries in /usr/bin. Which ones are you
referring to?
Hm - you must not have the openldap client or tools package installed.
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/fedora-ds/shared/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Using LD_LIBRARY_PATH is supposed to be "A Bad Thing". Why not
# ldconfig /opt/fedora-ds/shared/lib
That works too, as long as you can guarantee that having those libraries in the default path won't mess up other apps e.g. on RHEL4 Firefox and Thunderbird use private copies of nspr, nss, and mozldap, which are different versions than those in /opt/fedora-ds/shared/lib.
Thanks for your reply.
