Hi, In perl scripts (unix), one can do == #!/usr/local/bin/perl BEGIN { $ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} = ...; } do my perl stuff == The setting of ENV variable before the program runs allows me to fix the shell environments. In this case, I need to specify where to look for the shared library.

How do I do this in Haskell if I am writing the same script using: == #!/path/to/runhaskell {- how to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH = ... ? -}

do my haskell stuff ==

Thanks, Steve

In System.Posix.Env there is a function setEnv which will let you set environment variables. I have no idea why this functionality is not exposed in System.Environment. - Cale
