From ce5fd1cc12f678627163d532acd7dd4251758198 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eelco Dolstra Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2003 16:07:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] * Do not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH; it breaks many things. E.g., SuSE's ssh dynamically links against libdb4 (?!), due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH it picks up our libdb4 instead of SuSE's libdb4, but our libdb4 uses another glibc so loading barfs. Instead, all packages should use rpaths to store library locations in executables/libraries. The disadvantage is that overriding rpaths is harder. (It is possible by invoking the dynamic linker directly, e.g., `/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --ignore-path LIST program args...' to ignore the rpath for the libraries in LIST). It would be better to use DT_RUNPATH, which is consulted by the dynamic linker *after* LD_LIBRARY_PATH but *before* ld.so.cache and the system directories. --- scripts/nix-profile.sh.in | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/scripts/nix-profile.sh.in b/scripts/nix-profile.sh.in index 3a64caa04..0d059e1a2 100644 --- a/scripts/nix-profile.sh.in +++ b/scripts/nix-profile.sh.in @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ export PATH=$NIX_LINKS/bin:@prefix@/bin:$PATH - export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$NIX_LINKS/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH +# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$NIX_LINKS/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export LIBRARY_PATH=$NIX_LINKS/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH
