Good questions. I've been wondering the same thing myself. I also have a somewhat related question. Gentoo Linux doesn't seem to set a global LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable like most mainstream linux distributions (RedHat, Debian, etc.) do. I far as I can tell, this is a _good_ thing. (see http://www.visi.com/~barr/ldpath.html). However, some applications look for this variable. Is there a way, around this? Specifically, I've been looking into Webmin (http://www.webmin.com/webmin/), and trying to work up some gentoo config files for it. The top level config file seems to want LD_LIBRARY_PATH. At least that is what is in the config files for the other distributions. tod > Are there any conventions on where to store include files?
