Thanks to Dr. T. Blinn and Lucien HERCAUD for their
quick responses.
Both suggest it shouldn't be done ( iwas not planning
to change order)..but instead wanted to add additional
search paths system wide. I was looking for a file to
append an entry to....but both suggest doing it at
shell level, exporting.
Responses::
If you mean how can you change the DEFAULT, the answer
is pretty
much what you've identified. That's how the loader on
Tru64 UNIX
is implemented. I strongly recommend you read
(carefully) the
reference page for the loader; changing the library
search path
(especially on a system-wide basis) can be messy, and
you need to
make sure you know just what you are doing.

**********
"one" (anyone I mean) can simply change
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
by redefining and exporting it at the shell level.
But I suspect your question is more likely
"how a system admin. is supposed to amend permanent
changes to LD_LIBRARY_PATH" right ?
I would rather not do that ... as a system admin.
I would rather "wrap" around those binarties that
really need a
different
LD_LIBRARY_PATH with scripts that redefine a proper
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
the
just exec the required binaries. Takes a bit more
effort and some extra
cycles but its much cleaner.
Regards
