Environment variables
There are three environment variables associated with running
Python with Babel on many systems. Each, described below,
identifies path-related directories that must be set properly
for various tools. It is assumed Babel was already installed
in directories rooted at $PREFIX.
- PYTHONPATH.
- The PYTHONPATH environment variable
needs to contain $PREFIX/python and the directory where
work is being done.
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or system-specific alternative).
- Many systems require the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable contain $PREFIX/lib. Others, however, use
different variables. AIX, for example, uses LIBPATH instead. The
point is to include $PREFIX/lib in the search path used to locate
shared/dynamic link libraries.
- SIDL_DLL_PATH.
- The SIDL_DLL_PATH environment variable
is typically required to contain the path to the directory holding
the shared/dynamic link library containing the implementation of SIDL
objects. This is a semicolon-separated path variable.
