33# Use this script as a wrapper when running executables linked to shared
34# libraries on systems that use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable and don't embed
35# the soname's path within the linked executable (such as IRIX), e.g,
36#
37#	shlib knight
38#
39# Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, overrides/supplements the loader's normal search
40# path, and works on most systems.  The drawback is that then the environment
41# variable has to be set to run the programs within this directory tree.
42#
43# For Linux (and other systems using the GNU loader), we can use the rpath
44# directive, which embeds the pathname of the library within the executable.
45# Using the Linux loader's rpath directive introduces a constraint, since
46# it's embedded into the binary, and means that the binary cannot be moved
47# around (though it'll work if the $exec_prefix convention that puts the bin
48# and lib directories under the same parent is followed).
49#
50# Using the actual soname (e.g., ../lib/libncurses.so) alone, is a more
51# flexible solution; you can link without having to set the environment
52# variable, and on some systems (IRIX) you can even run the resulting binaries
53# without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
54#
55# Using a conventional link, with -L and -l options on Linux results in a
56# statically linked executable, which we don't want at all.

60# Make sure that we use the PATH that was set in run_tic.sh
