Enviroment variable for extensions

Hello!

Is there a fixed enviroment variable for Ruby to look in
for extensions?

If not, wouldn’t be nice to have one? :slight_smile:

$LOAD_PATH. It’s an array of dirs Ruby searches.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I was looking for a shell enviroment
variable, like PYTHONPATH for example, which while is set
ruby looks inside for extensions.

Thanks! Well, I deserve an ‘RTFM big time’ as an answer here. :slight_smile:

Sorry for the noise.

(It’s just that I have so little time to finish this project
and everything seems to be against me…)
