Changing this could potentially break similar system-level customizations, which would be worse. I think the safer answer is just not to break your local configuration in that way. It was of course an extreme example. But there is more vicious one. ( some things like /opt/Devel/mywork/xml/lib in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH). We have dozens of developpers there which are constaintly changing their LD_LIBRARY_PATH/PATH,LC_ALL and so one. I can't be sure everybody has not forgot to put /lib:/usr/lib before anything else in the LIBRARY_PATH They perfectly accept having troubles running applications from command line (in gnome terminal). But they really don't understand why it causes sytem crash or freeze. Mainly come from Solaris/CDE and they simply don't understand. No, I repeat myself , but the stability of the system MUST NOT depend of users preferences (variables set). |
