Hi, I can't answer your question, but I can ask a related one: Is there a reason why $ROOTSYS/lib is not searched for libraries during runtime? If I remember correctly this feature was added to win32, but it seems to be lacking in TUnixSystem. It would save the user from setting set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Cheers, Axel.
