Fw: 1)GOOD plugin documentation? 2)library issues.

Telling apache about LD_LIBRARY_PATH worked just fine. Thanks much for the help, it's handy to know that solaris doesn't
make that available to everything.
For those of us unfamiliar with apache the fix was simple.
Open your apache conf file, usually /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
Add in the line
SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/other/lib/dirs
You may need to use PassEnv instead of SetEnv for older versions of apache (previous to 1.1 I belive)
Thanks again Robert and hopefully I will be able to find some good docs on making custom plug-ins if not I will play
with it and write some.

Hello Josh,


There are a couple of ways to deal with your problem.

1 is with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, by default Solaris does not include this path
as a path where libraries can be found so using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH will
add that gd libraries, there is also a way of telling Apache in its
config file about LD_LIBRARY_PATH

The second option is to create symbolic links to the libraries in
/usr/lib so the symbolic link /usr/lib/libdg.so.2 would point to
/usr/local/lib/libgd.so.2.0.0 this is time consuming becase you need to
link every library in /usr/local/lib

good luck.
