I have the following in my root ~/.bash_profile: PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.6/lib:/usr/local/apr/lib:/usr/lib/httpd/modules LD_RUN_PATH=$LD_RUN_PATH:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.6/lib:/usr/local/apr/lib:/usr/lib/httpd/modules PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig
export PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH export LD_RUN_PATH export PKG_CONFIG_PATH BUT.... When I use su to log into root, PATH is there, LD_RUN_PATH is there, and PKG_CONFIG_PATH is there, but not LD_LIBRARY_PATH (which makes some of my programs not cooperate) Is there something I'm missing? Why would an environment variable not show up? Maybe I'm blind.
