Re: [aclug-L] Midnight Commander?

Clint:
thanks for the response:
I tried the comman ldd, yes there are libraries in my system that
are NOT in the list that 'ldd' produced.  the exported variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH does NOT exist in my system.  Could there be another
method used to get the libraries into the execution of the tkmc
program?  Or: How can I tell what all of the 'exported variables'
(such as $PATH or $LD_LIBRARY_PATH) are?

sorry for my inexperience and bothersome questions,
