Solaris Apache HTTP Server .postinstall does not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Apart from other numerous issues, JWS-153, ./.postinstall.httpd contains this code:

if [ ".$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" = . ]
then
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$INSTALL_ROOT/lib64"
else
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$INSTALL_ROOT/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
fi
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

that AFAIK does nothing. It merely sets the variable within the executing shell that then vanishes... There is no call to /usr/bin/crle, but that won't help anyway if the script ain't executed with root privileges.

If you run Apache HTTP Server with ./apachectl or as a service, there is no LD_LIBRARY_PATH set for you neither in ./apachectl nor in sysconfig/httpd.

Suggested fix

I suggest to use this updated ./.postinstall.httpd that with its latest commit (ATTOW) brings LD_LIBRARY_PATH to apachectl and sysconfig/httpd.

It requires apachectl.in to be patched as follows:

--- apachectl.in.old    Wed Jul  8 07:58:35 2015
+++ apachectl.in        Wed Jul  8 08:02:41 2015

Thank you for reviewing the suggested solution. It would be great to have it in ER1.
