Dear all,
Just a quick question : when running the Debugger in GUI mode, my environment variables are reset to somewhat basic values - e.g., LD_LIBRARY_PATH is reset to PGHPF lib path.
Question : how do I tell the debugger to load my user's environment variables rather than its own values?
Sorry if this question is either basic or already answered -didn't find it on the forums.

Many thanks to all in advance.

Hi Pierre-François,

PGDBG will inherit the user's environment. So setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH before launching the debugger should include the correct shared library directories.

If setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment is not possible, the user can use the "setenv" command in the command window. For example "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /path/to/lib1:/path/to/lib2:/path/to/lib3". "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH" will display the value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Hope this helps,
Mat

Mat,
Well, thank you for your answer.
However - and I guess that's an issue, PGDBG won't inherit my environment at all. Actually it seems to inherit every single variable environment (I checked PATH as an example) except for LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
How come?
Best regards,
Pierre-François

How are you launching PGDBG? (From the command line, a script, or from the OS start menu).

Which OS? (I've been assuming you're running Linux).

Dear Mat,
I'm running PGDBG from the command line on a Linux RedHat 5, 64 bits box using the command "pgdbg".
