Hmmm... weird. In Unix, when Apache runs, it runs as a user - on my Linux system

it is called "nobody" - this user name needs to have access to whatever libraries

it needs to invoke a CGI script. What Im not sure about is whether Apache is

"chroot'ed" to a specific file-system tree (and so can't find the library) when

it runs or if it ignores certain env vars?



Will have to do more research...
