why don't you just link the .desktop file to a shell script that appends /opt/usr/lib or whatever to LD_LIBRARY_PATH? Like Marble does. then call main app from the script.

haven't got columbus installed. should be pretty easy though. i use it to run a desktop project with loads of shared libraries. bit more complex as its based off the quake 3 launcher script.

Personally as "/opt/usr" is the default install prefix in Qt Creator for maemo projects, I think that /opt/usr/bin should be in $PATH and /opt/usr/lib should be in /etc/ld.so.conf, but who should set that up

As ld.so.conf is a major file, would you want your app to be the reason someones device gets messed up if something goes wrong. at least the scripted way the change is only temporary, only being made when the app is run and then undone on reboot

Actually unless you export your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, it's only in effect for the duration of your shell script/app is running.

"/etc/ld.so.conf" is a system configuration file that I am only using for its' intended purpose. I'm using it for exactly the reason it's there ..

But It shouldn't necessarily be up to my app to add the "/opt/usr" prefix into the system. There should be some Qt Application package that does it, that I and other developers would then depend on so we didn't have to worry about setting the system up correctly ourselves ..

The application displays latitude and longitude in various formats, it's not exactly the first that does it though :P

Also, I had installation problems earlier and had to append in file /etc/ld.so.conf the string "/opt/usr/lib/" before I got it working.

Is there anything you need from me to help you debug this?
Hi tswindell,

I didn't hear from you since my last post and decided to give you whatever info I could get from the error. When I run columbus from a terminal shell, I got the following:

"00:1AC4:8D:5C" is my n95.

is the n95 not support NMEA format?
