Re: [evince] building and running evince from checkout dir

["pjsanfil ." <pjsanfil gmail com>]

I checked the value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH by printing it out at line 36 of shell/evince (script).  At this point it was empty. I tried changing it to: "."  and the error message I got stayed the same, which was:
(lt-evince:20753): EvinceDocument-WARNING **: Error opening directory '/usr/local/lib/evince/4/backends': No such file or directory

In my evince build dir. I have the following libraries:
~/Projects/evince$ find . -name "*.so"
./backend/pdf/.libs/libpdfdocument.so
./backend/xps/.libs/libxpsdocument.so
./backend/dvi/.libs/libdvidocument.so
./backend/ps/.libs/libpsdocument.so
./backend/tiff/.libs/libtiffdocument.so
./backend/djvu/.libs/libdjvudocument.so
./backend/comics/.libs/libcomicsdocument.so
./libview/.libs/libevview3.so
./libdocument/.libs/libevdocument3.so
./browser-plugin/.libs/libevbrowserplugin.so

Where does the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable points to? I should include the path to the
the dynamic libraries built by Evince.
