To answer your quesiton, a good habit to have is to preserve what's there
already, just as  you do with $PATH or others environment variables.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/my/special/lib/directory

# okay, the rpm2cpio worked out great and I've gotten the 
# library I thought I'd need.  See what happens when I try to use it:
# 
# dhurst at Arwen:~&gt; 
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/dhurst/SuSE_rpms/test/lib 
# /usr/local/schrodinger/maestro -d
# Floating point exception
# 
# Turns out that I've limited everything that trys to run to 
# that library path using this syntax and all I get are 
# floating point exceptions.  Good thing I am not root right 
# now.  How do I use this properly?
# 
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/dhurst/SuSE_rpms/test/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
# 
# Would that be more correct?

# Subject: [ale] RPM command line help
# 
# I want to install an older glibc from SuSE 9.0 into my SuSE 
# 9.1.  Here is the command line I think will keep it from 
# screwing up my current system:
# 
# rpm -ivvvh --test --relocate /etc=/opt/lib --relocate 
# /lib=/opt/lib --relocate /sbin=/opt/lib --relocate 
# /usr=/opt/lib --badreloc --oldpackage --noscripts 
# /home/dhurst/SuSE_rpms/glibc-2.3.2-92.i586.rpm
# 
# What I want is for it to install all the files in the rpm 
# into /opt/lib.  I don't see how to extract just the single 
# file I want out of the rpm.  Any problems with what I want to 
# do?  I don't want the rpm to do symlinks in my regular system 
# files either.
