App installed in ~/usr launches from terminal but not Applications menu (or why does setting ld_library_path in .profile not work as it should)
- by levesque
I have built and installed an application under a directory of my choosing, let's say under /home/jim/usr, so files have been put in three-four folders, all under this $HOME/usr folder (e.g., bin, include, lib, share, etc.).
I can launch this application from the command line just fine as I added the proper paths to my environement variables PATH…
