[sword-devel] Gnomesword problem

[Horst Hölle]

Hello,

ld is looking for the library in the directories configured in 
/etc/ld.so.conf. Doing an ldconfig the cache will be created with the 
libraries in these directories. 

If the library is not found in the cache, it looks in the directories 
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH. For security-reasons LD_LIBRARY_PATH
doesn't work with UID 0 (user root)
