The order is: /lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib The above comment about stopping when a given library is found is quite true. Has anyone thought about how to set up system programs arbitrary local directories can be included in the search path? There was a start at that with /usr/include/local/uparm.h in 4.1BSD but very few programs use it. Life is indeed difficult if you want to use /local/... instead of /usr/local/... For those of you with source take a look at ld.c sometime to see how the directories are set up to be searched, truly a hack. Reminds me of v6...Ahhh the good ole days(I'm glad they're gone). Troff does the same stuff too. For those that care this is for 4.?BSD. regards, Mike Brown National Solar Observatory Tucson, Arizona (602) 325-9249 UUCP: {akgua,allegra,arizona,decvax,hao,ihnp4,lbl-csam, sdcarl,sdcsvax,seismo,trwspf,unc,utastronomy,ut-sally} !kpno!brown ARPA: kpno!brown@LBL-CSAM.ARPA CSNET: brown@arizona
