Re: LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not exported to subshells

Hi


Thanks, but no thanks. I am not interested in tricks to set 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This is not what the screen mailing list about.


I am concerned about the fact that screen removes LD_LIBRARY_PATH from 
the environment, and I believe this behavior is a bug.


Zvi.
