[gnuastro-commits] master eacbcb8: Known issues solution to LD_LIBRARY_PATH re-written in book

[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

branch: master
commit eacbcb8b610a2b3503643beef8fe3b5076661ee3
Author: Mohammad Akhlaghi <address@hidden>
Commit: Mohammad Akhlaghi <address@hidden>

    Known issues solution to LD_LIBRARY_PATH re-written in book
    
    This solution was slightly out-dated (more than one test will pass and many
    will be skipped). It also wasn't generic enough (describing the possibility
    of other installation directories). So it was re-written to adapt to what
    happens now.
    
    Also instead of the script writing the `export ...' command into
    `~/.bashrc', the line is now written and the user is requested to add it
    them selves (how ever they like). This is more clear and informative.
