It would be very beneficial if LD_LIBRARY_PATH was defined by snappy launcher so that rpath is not required. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> I don't think that the launcher can really set that, as we don't know exactly what it would be for the particular package. Otherwise we start to put in magical directory layout things for snaps, which make them harder to build. An idea that has been bouncing around is to provide a global environment setup script for executing in a snap that perhaps could be used for something like this. You can imagine for instance that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH could change depending on architecture for a multi-arch snap. Ted </BODY> </HTML>
