One thing: check whether your copy of the GNU make is setgid or not. If it is, the system might be disabling the setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH before changing the gid, as a security precaution. You shouldn't need the make binary to be setgid on a Linux box, since there are ways to retrieve the system load without needing special gid status. If you installed it yourself and it automatically added the setgid bit, that seems like a bug in the configuration/installation of GNU make; let me know. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
