I'm surprised that since it installs in a non-standard location that it doesn't create a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ conf file. In that case it's a simple drop-in file that only requires ldconfig to be run after the package installation....
I believe some of the libraries clash with ones provided by the O.S., and should be used by NX binaries only, so adding to ldconfig is not the proper solution there...
From what I see, the NX binaries are actually linked to the NX
libraries using the full path, or using RPATH when not specifying the whole path, so I'm not sure why they use LD_LIBRARY_PATH... However, using "strings" and "grep" I can see that they do use it and apparently reset it. They might be resetting it as a measure of security.
But wouldn't it be more polite to reset it back to what it had picked up from your .bash_profile if you had some reason to change it there?
