Look it up for FreeBSD. > James: No it doesn't. Like doh123 said run 'man dyld.' Mac OS X/Darwin uses it's own C library and kernel, with bits of Free/Net/OpenBSD mixed in. But more importantly to this discussion, it uses its own dynamic linker - dyld. LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't do anything on OS X. Saying it does doesn't make it so. The equivalent environment vars are DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH. Again, a quick look at the dyld man page would have told you that. Grow a clue and stop giving advice until you do. It's getting old.
