Re: [Dgwebminmodule-users] How can I get shar ed libraries loaded with Webmi n

[Adam K. <ake...@ni...>]

What your trying to do is a system config issue, not webmin :)

On slackware systems, and most other linux systems, modify the 
/etc/ld.so.conf file.

In that file on a new line put /usr/local/lib
Save the file and exit your file editor. Then run the command 'ldconfig' 
without the quotes.

That will tell your system programs where they can find libraries. 
Webmin doesn't look for libraries at all. Your fix to the webmin module 
will work only because it's setting environment variables so the DG 
program knows where to look for it's libs. Once you do the above config 
change, then you could take out the changes to the module.
