[fpc-pascal] [Linux] Accessing Shared Libraries in *Current* Binary Directory

[Alan Krause]

Tom,

In the bash shell, type in:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.

This appends the current directory to the library search path, so if you cd
to the app's directory before executing it, you will be good to go. You
could also write a bash script to perform these steps automatically for you,
as I know some applications have done in the past.
