Don't Understand Install Directions - StarKid - 2011-02-12


I'm in the process of installing the Asymptopia Flashcard system (http://sourceforge.net/projects/flashcard/)on Fedora 14 x64. Part of the directions say:

 

IMPORTANT!

 

Make sure to enter the following in your .bashrc or .bash_profile:

export FLASH_COLLECTION_DIR=/home/starkid/.flash_collections

 

Also, make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH included /usr/local/lib

 

I updated my bash profile, but what does the part about "included" mean?

It means "ensure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable contains the /usr/local/lib directory also"

 

The easiest way is to add the following line at the end of your .bash_profile:



Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib




That should tag it onto the end, if set (and set it if not).

 

Hope that helps!
