LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/foo/lib ./runmyapp
I managed to do this in tcsh by using setenv in a shell script
that setenv's the lib path and then executes $1, just wondering
if there was a way to do it in 1 line from the cmd line as in bash?
Thanks, btw %2c or %3c worked. Freebsd, tcsh and vi forever!

develop C/C++ code under Linux. In school, we used jove/gcc and
I still use emacs/vi and gcc to this day. However, it is really
lacking. Under Windows I tried Visual Studio and there were some
really nice things about it, although it was so overwhelming that
