Hi Kirsten, The "-Lfoodir" is for the linker to put the foodir on the linker-search-path. I'm not familiar with "-LDIR foodir". Maybe the top level toolchain driver treats that as a "-L foodir -Wl,--rpath,foodir"? On Solaris, the trick I've used to bake in the library search directory is the -rpath flag used by the linker to brand the path (absolute, or relative) into the shared object. q.v. http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/notes/rpath.html Alternatively, you can do what some applications do and have a front end /bin/sh launch script (usually generated by the installer) that sets the environment variables up, including LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
