problems with LD_LIBRARY_PATH and libtool wrapper

[Dan McMahill]

Hello,

I have a problem with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH handling inside of the libtool 
wrapper.  I see a line like:

# Add our own library path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/pkg/lib:/home/dan/src/myprog/libmine/.libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

in /home/dan/src/myprog/src/myprog which is the libtool wrapper.

The problem is I may have an out of date libmine installed in 
/usr/pkg/lib and at runtime I pick that one up instead of the one in 
/home/dan/src/myprog/libmine/.libs.  This has caused me great confusion 
a couple of times when I absolutely could not correlate the behavior of 
the program with the sources in ../libmine because of course they didn't 
match.

It seems that we want to make sure any ".libs" directories appear first 
in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks
