 JH> at the ~ prompt....

is your sbbs/ctrl directory ACTUALLY /sbbs/ctrl?

or do you have sbbs in a home dir like I do? if so you need to set a symlink
from /sbbs/ to ~/sbbs/

And though i've done this. anyway I look at it, when I try to load envorinment
varaibles, even in a very simple script, EXCEPT for scfg, the SBBSCTRL
environment will not set.

not will it work in .profile .bash-profile .bashrc

simple script

#!/bin/sh and tried bash
SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl && export SBBSCTRL && sudo /sbbs/exec/sbbs [triggers, etc]
exit

I've tried this directly from a CLI and it still states SBBSCTRL environment
not set. SCFG does'nt give the issues after being loaded stating it cannot find
the ctrl dir when loading directly like this or from a script.

in my ~/.bashrc ~/.bash-profile and ~/profile I have:

SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl && export SBBSCTRL

it is also setup in /etc/prfile btw.

and I no longer have any issues with LD_LIBRARY_PATH being called for.

strange indeed.
