[hobbit] Hobbit Installation Issue

Does he need to??  He already fixed the error in bb-display.log by adding:

   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

to hobbitserver.cfg.  Shouldn't that also fix the cgi error??
bb-hostsvc.cgi pulls in

   /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg

which in turn does this:

   # hobbitsvc.cgi options for a normal (current) status display
   CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg --no-svcid
--histor
y=top"

so the cgi ought to pick up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Or does Apache need to
have LD_LIBRARY_PATH in *its* startup script so that the cgi gets it??
