A couple good answers to my problem came up. The best answer I found was to modify the ~/.gnomerc which was not present in the account to add the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and $PATH to it. That should convince Gnome to see what I want it to see. The other good ideas were to use my $LDFLAGS variable to set the -L and -R directorys for linking and runtime libraries, and then recompile the software I want to add to the menu. Another was to copy or link the .bash_profile I was using to ~/.bashrc to be sure that bash was correctly reading my environment. Thanks Mario Williams, Dave Uhring, and the sysadmin at Stockholm Observatory for your kind help. Howard --- "This document was supplied free of defects in spelling, punctuation or grammar.
