I tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH using $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/dll-files (and then checking with $ echo LD_LIBRARY_PATH that it "stuck"), but the process still cannot find the DLL files. I am starting the process with strace so I am sure this is the problem, not something else. I guess I could temporarily modify the PATH but I'm interested in alternatives. > > Regards > - -- tomás - Eric -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
