Description Lucas Rocha 2008-10-06 21:57:36 UTC 
So that we make sure we find the referenced libs (even if they on non-standard path)

Hm, it doesn't work to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
Comment 3 Colin Walters 2008-10-07 00:17:16 UTC 
The reason I ask is that I'm not sure how/whether LPATH works on Windows and OS X.  

My ideal actually is that we can drop usage of ctypes' find_library in favor of GModule but that needs figuring out.

Yeah, I think we should drop usage of find_library as, based on the documentation[1], it does't seem portable enough for the purposes we're using it.

find_library doesn't really consult LD_LIBRARY_PATH[2]. Using LPATH seems to work (honestly, I'm sure why).

This patch is basically pointless as we get the list of paths from the passed pkgs. Closing.
