gdk-pixbuf loaders.cache Wrong Directory

[gudenau]

When launching the example script it spams the console with a lot of errors related to gdk-pixbuf not finding the loader cache file. It is looking in usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/ instead of where it is located: /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/

After doing some digging appending /usr/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH fixes this issue, but that is not a good fix.

Investigating further.

[gudenau]

So it turns out that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH trick works because the shared objects get loaded from there before they get loaded from the paths that Dolphin specifies. This works because gtk uses a hard coded path to locate the cache file.

This doesn't seem to be a libmelee issue. Closing
