Bash LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Hello

I have just tried to install ns-allineone-2.31 on cygwin

cygwin is using the bash shell

it asks for somethings to be put into the LD_LIBRAY_PATH, here is a snippet of what it says.

(1) You MUST put /home/Chris/ns-allinone-2.31/otcl-1.13, /home/Chris/ns-allinone-2.31/lib, into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

I tried this in Linux (Ubuntu) and it says the same thing.

So can anyone tell me how I can solve this? I am a newbie and would appreciate the help

It means that you need to add those path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.

Add this to your profile file.
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/Chris/ns-allinone-2.31/otcl-1.13:/home/Chris/ns-allinone-2.31/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Thanks
