Unable to run application

[marfi]

Hi, it seems there is a bug in processing of environment variables (at least on Linux). If there are more than one directory set in LD_LIBRARY_PATH (separated by semicolons) then an application cannot be run (only message about pressing a key is displayed in the terminal window). If there is only one path in the mentioned env. variable, everything work fine.

I use Ubuntu 8.10, CL rev 2792.

Hi, for example, with this value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH my application starts without any problem (LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/michal/Src/Projects/wxSF/lib/gcc_dll):
Content of output panel:

Code: Select all

Current working directory: /home/michal/Src/Projects/wxXS/samples/Sample3/bin/gcc
Running program: xterm -title './CustomDataSample ' -e '/bin/sh -f /usr/bin/le_exec.sh LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/michal/Src/Projects/wxSF/lib/gcc_dll ./CustomDataSample '
Program exited with return code: 0

But with following settings only a black terminal window with text "Press ENTER to continue..." appears and nothing more happens ( LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/michal/Src/Projects/wxSF/lib/gcc_dll;/home/michal/Src/Projects/wxXS/lib/gcc_dll):

In previous revisions (unfortunatelly, I don't know in which revision the problem appeared for the first time) of CL everything worked fine.

Hi,

If there are more than one directory set in LD_LIBRARY_PATH (separated by semicolons)...

Multiple dirs should be separated by colons, not semi-colons.

Nice catch

Oooops.... What a shame! With colons everything work fine. Thanks a lot!
