Modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH only affects child processes (ld.so caches the search path). In contrast, Windows evaluates the current PATH when searching for DLLs (other than SxS assemblies). What's the immediate goal here? For building an extension module with distutils you can use library_dirs and runtime_library_dirs (UNIX, embed an rpath). _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
