[GRASS5] Solaris GRASS 5.1, shared libraries, external PROJ

[Wallace, Beverly T]

Hi Radim,

I am running bin.$(ARCH)/grass51.

It finds the GRASS shared libraries if I move "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH" 
outside of the if statement in etc/Init.sh as you suggested. 
	if [ ! "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ] ; then
	  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GISBASE/lib
	else
	  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$GISBASE/lib
	fi
	export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

For Solaris, it works OK if LD_LIBRARY_PATH starts with a colon, but
I don't know about other systems.

Thank you, 
	Bev
