httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libaprutil-1.so.0


Hi,

This is my first post, so forgive me if I sound a little noobish. I have searched the Web for the answer I'm looking for and so far I haven't found anything that pertains to my issue.

My environment:

I'm running Apache/PHP/MySQL on an intranet development server. I support the application (Apache), but not the server itself, so I don't have root access. Everything we support on that server is installed from source and contained in the /data filesystem (using ./configure --prefix=[PATH] ...) using a generic account we su to. We can't use any package management software because of this (since you can't specify the prefix with them).

Apache is installed in my case in /data/apache-2.2.3, and linked as /data/apache.

Note: The server is running RHEL 4 ES, and doesn't have access to the Internet.

My problem:

Recently, I had to upgrade PHP, which meant recompiling it completely including some of the dependencies I needed (such as libpng, freetype, libmcrypt, libmhash, etc...).

Those libraries were previously not installed at all, or were installed in their own folder right at the root of /data. I didn't like this so I used a different prefix when I recompiled them so they are all under /data/lib/[lib_name].

To make sure Apache would still be able to find the shared libraries, I linked the old directories to the new locations (deleted the dirs and created symlinks instead with the same name).

For example, the apr library was installed in /data/apr-httpd, and I compiled the new one in /data/lib/apr, and then created /data/apr-httpd as a link pointing to it.

That didn't work so well... After restarting Apache, I got this error:
Code:
/data/apache-2.2.3/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libaprutil-1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I don't understand why it can't find it since the file it's looking for is in the /data/lib/apr-util/lib folder, and that the original folder it was in is linked properly to the new one!?

I managed to work around the issue by adding a direct link to libaprutil-1.so.0 in /data/apache/modules, but I would rather like not having to do this.

My question(s):

So what can I do to fix this properly without having to recompile Apache with --with-apr-util=/data/lib/apr-util and --with-apr=/data/lib/apr ?

Is there something I can just add in the httpd.conf file?

Is it possible that this might be a permissions issue? Every time I've run into a similar issue the problem has turned out to be either problems with the file ownership, or problems with the permissions.

It wasn't that, the permissions were the same as before, both owner and group and all the other flags were identical.

Either way, I ended up restoring a backup of that entire filesystem to revert the changes. I'll have to play around with it later if I want to do the same.

Consider this issue somewhat resolved.

Talking Fixing the missing shared libraries issue

Not quite related to PHP, but I did experience this issue when running Blender3D (open source 3D software). What I did was I edited the file
Quote:
/etc/ld.so.conf
by adding the path where the shared library resides, and then I run the command
Quote:
ldconfig
to reload the shared libraries. After that, I get to run Blender3D successfully.
For more info, check this site: http://linux.die.net/man/8/ldconfig

Hope this helps
