Tough. What you have likely done is confuse several different sorts of
path. Most probably. If you program, then provide correct debugging
information - not the dross you served up, which was typical luserdom.
I guessed. If the guess is wrong it's because you made me guess instead
of providing info that I could use for a diagnosis.

No, it does not. Changing your path cannot fix library problems,
because libraries are not looked up via the path.

Library directories are configured in ld.so.conf, and may be
additionally specified in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, not PATH.

Oh - then you can act a bit more like you are interested in learning.

Eh? Yes, they're annoying. Also messing up a debugging report is
annoying. Heck, being annoying is annoying.
