Problems with rpm and LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Mon Feb 13 09:28:52 UTC 2006

Hi,

I've recently started playing around with Colinux (no permission to
install new OS on work PC) and have a disk image of FC4 running (upgraded
from a FC1 min. install via apt-get dist-upgrade). Everything works just
fine apart from a couple of minor(?) glitches:

1. "rpm <options> URL:// " doesn't work. It aborts due to an "unknown
error". E.g.:

b7bAborted

---------------------------------->8---------------------------------------

Installed glibc: glibc-2.3.5-10.3

..And the system has been recently "yum update"-ed.

2. It seems that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set at system startup.

Any ideas anyone?

TIA
