C & dynamic libraries....

[Ciro Iriarte]

Hi, what would be the correct way to setup additional directories to look for shared libraries?.

The idea is not to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH but the equivalent in HPUX to "ldconfig" in Linux or "crle" in Solaris.

(The correct HP-UX terminology is shared libraries.)

You can either link with -L path and these will be included in the runtime lookup paths (rpath). Or you can link with +b path_list.

Defining the library path at compilation time for each binary is the only "best practices" approach we have?, isn't there any system wide solution not involving shell variables?..

Those are the two solutions.
You of course can put your shlibs in /usr/lib/, or use $ORIGIN.
