Thanks for your assistance - could you help me
in understanding the command above? I assume 
chroot is used here to limit ldconfig only to
the c225 dir - would ldconfig otherwise mess up
the previously scanned libs?

Just curiously grepped for LD_LIBRARY_PATH in
some dirs and noticed that perl seems to use
this environment variable too. Is there some
source of standard env. variables? - I have 
read so many howto's but never came across
this topic and it does interest me.
