What would you all recomend as a "proper" way of modifying the $PATH
variable and of linking to the DS libraries?
If you don't mind overriding the system ldap commands, which are
normally located in /usr/bin, you could do
$ export PATH=/opt/fedora-ds/shared/bin:$PATH
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/fedora-ds/shared/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Alternatively, you could go to the directory /opt/fedora-ds/shared/bin,
and run the command line interface:
$ cd /opt/fedora-ds/shared/bin; ./ldapsearch <options>
This way, the library path is take care of by rpath. If you don't want
to make the fedora-ds command line utilities conflict with the system
ones, you may want to make a script file (for each command) and set the
<script_file_path> to your path...
