Conflict between two libglib-2.0.so

[Laurent BESSON <laurent besson st com>]

Hello,

I'm using perl/Gtk2 package under Sun Solaris 8 OS and I have a problem 
when running perl/gtk2 app when Sun Gnome package are installed on a 
workstation.

If the Gnome package is not installed, perl/Gtk2 is finding the 
glib-2.0/gtk-2.0 libs (.so) in some path (/apa/free2/SunOS/5.8/lib) and 
these libs are the libs used when compiling/installing the perl/Gtk2 
package and my app is running fine.

Unfortunately, on some workstations, the glib/gtk libs are also present 
in /usr/lib (coming from Sun Gnome pacakge) and they are not as 
up-to-date as the one in /apa/free2/... BUT they are used first by ld.so 
when running perl.

I have tried silly things in my perl app like this but without success:

BEGIN { $ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} = 
"/apa/free2/SunOS/5.8/lib:".$ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} }

I thought the line above would help perl using the /apa/free2/.. link 
path before the /usr/lib but it didn't work.

Any ideas ?

Laurent.
