Subject: [Bug translator/10917] environment variable expansion in executable search
Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:15:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091124171456.20650.qmail@sourceware.org> (raw)

Thanks for the response. 

Bug 6880 indeed looks like a reasonable solution to my problem: if a "library" probe searched 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the library, that'd work well for me in this situation, and if process(...).library(...) 
found the library no matter what way that process loaded it, that'd be useful for many other situations.

I also think generic (usable anywhere) parse-time env var expansion suppport would be quite nice too. 
Your proposal #4 is certainly a *much* better idea than my proposal of just doing it in this one special 
case.
