Strange Environment Problem
« on: August 18, 2004, 01:20:32 pm »
Was wondering if anyone else has run across an odd issue I'm having.

When I bring up a console window (just click on Konsole), I get my prompt and everything is good.  However, my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set.  

I've looked in the qpe.sh file and it's actually set twice in there.  But if I 'echo' the ENV variable after I get the command prompt, it's empty.  I actually have to manually set it.

Anyone know why this might be?  I'm using the Sharp ROM 3.10, SL-5500 and the Konsole App.  App shouldn't matter, but just in case.

Root user btw way is fine when logging in either ssh or konsole.

TIA,

- Michael

I'm using same ROM version, etc. and my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to /home/QtPalmtop/lib.  Perhaps you've made a change to .bashrc or .profile that resets it??

doseas,

Thanks for the reply.  I have checked there to be sure, but sadly no.  The _only_ place it's currently being set is from bash.qpe.

I moved my .profile under /home/zaurus, in case that was somehow causing problems, but still no dice.  I also don't have a .bashrc file.  It's a very odd problem and I haven't tracked it down yet.  I'm sure there are other people out there with the same problem.  Well at least one that I know of.     You can see the QtJournal thread.

Not a huge deal, but just annoying to have to set it at command line, when it should be set.

Ah well.  C'est la vie!
