[kde-solaris] KCheckpass on Solaris 8

Mon Nov 11 21:28:01 2002

I figured out the reason mine is probably still failing has to do with
the LD issue for setuid binaries mentioned earlier=2E Unfortunately I
don=27t feel like recompiling the whole kde kit with -R/usr/local/lib=2C =
so
I just made a desktop icon that does xterm -e xlock basically=2C or
xlockmore in my case=2E To get LD=5FLIBRARY=5FPATH reflected for -R durin=
g
compiling=2C kde should support LD=5FRUNPATH=2C so LD=5FRUNPATH=3D=24LD=5F=
LIBRARY=5FPATH
should set them equivilent=2E Too bad the only thing kdesktop=5Flock is
failing on is libpng =3AX
