#179673 — MATE in /usr AND in /usr/local

FromDavid Griffith <dave@661.org>
Date2017-04-01 03:20 +0200
SubjectMATE in /usr AND in /usr/local
Message-ID<trfRT-3Wr-5@gated-at.bofh.it>
I'm interested in tinkering with components of MATE and testing them while 
leaving the APT-installed versions alone. I've built and installed the 
components from the Github repos and installed them to /usr/local/. I 
can't figure out how to load applets from /usr/local. In particular, can 
someone tell me how to use the /usr/local version of the Workspace 
Switcher instead of /usr/?

See the man page[1] for the linux loader, particularly with regard to
the environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD.

You do want to use chroot for that.
