322: Using the leak checker
33=========================
34
35The leak checker is built as part of the eazel-tools gnome module.
36Build that first before you continue.
37
38Nautilus is set up to use the libleakcheck.so leak checking
39library. To use it, run Nautilus with LD_PRELOAD set to the path to
40the installed libleakcheck.so library. For example, if you are using a
41Bourne-compatible shell, like bash, you can run Nautilus this way to
42run with leak checking:
43
44LD_PRELOAD=/gnome/lib/libleakcheck.so /gnome/bin/nautilus
