you can set the library search path for your root app in your
.rootrc file:
Unix.*.Root.DynamicPath: .:~/rootlibs:$ROOTSYS/lib
I could add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to it, but LD_LIBRARY_PATH is
not portable. AIX uses LIBPATH and HP-UX uses SHLIB_PATH.
I think with Root.DynamicPath you have more specific control.
However, if you really insist I can add LD_LIBRARY_PATH
to the Root.DynamicPath string.
Cheers, Fons.
