[Expat-discuss] Error on installation

[Jeremy Schwartz]

I installed Expat 2.30 on MacOSX 10.1.2 and I am now having some difficulty
with a cgi that uses Expat to parse xml.

I received the advice at from FJ Franklin about setting the
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH rather than LD_LIBRARY_PATH. How does one go about setting
that path?

Here is the error:
