hi
I am facing the following error while running SplitOff.exe in machine 172.24.130.245 :
Error :
ld.so.1: SplitOff.exe: fatal: libstdc++.so.2.10.0: open failed: No such file or directory.This file is avilabe in ap/local/lib path.
how to include the path of exe in the ld library path [only System admin has permission]

add this line to your login script; /etc/profile

export PATH=$PATH:/ap/local/lib

If this does not work send us the result of

# set

and let us know the distribution you are using.

You can just do this command in the terminal
( before the <app> command, same terminal ) :

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/"username"/ap/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib

Regarding ap/local/lib , please use actual path.
.....

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is archaism. It is slow and has some issue with security.
The solution is: add absolute path to your libs to one of /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf file or create /etc/ld.so.conf.d/boo.conf and add one in it. Say ldconfig after that.

/usr/lib:/lib may be omitted. Them will be searched anyway if library not found in the other locations

If you haven't admin right on this box, or this specific library isn't compatible with a rest of system, then what alternative fo the LD_LIBRARY_PATH do you see.

And what security issue LD_LIBRARY_PATH has ?

http://xahlee.org/UnixResource_dir/_/ldpath.html

If you have no admin rigths or library isn't compatible then at least do not set it global (~/.profile, ~/.bashrc, etc).

Another thing is if you set it like that: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner:$LD_ LIBRARY_PATH and LD...H was blank before you will get LD...H=/usr/lib/xulrunner. This is mistake.
Use LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner${LD_ LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}. This is correct.

I read your links and still can't see what the security issue with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Of course you can use it (as any other tool) wrong way and introduce security problem. You are not better off if you specify in the /etc/ld.so.conf user-writable directory.

Hi,
Please enlighten me? What exactly are you trying to do? Please provide a little more detail of what you are attempting and why.

Is this version of ldstdc++ needed for just this program? libstdc++ is the standard c++ library, so I am guessing you have an issue where the program expects a different version than the system has installed.

You can precede a command with a variable assignment. You can also create a wrapper script which adds to the library path for that command. Then call the script instead of the program itself.

If you run "ldd -v /full/path/to/command", you can see which libraries are required. The verbose option includes version information.

If the system uses SELinux or AppArmor, you may find that the library path can't be changed changed via environment variables due to the secure exec mechanism:

server has provided sudo access

$export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/manantha/ap/local/lib
$ sudo /DataPathSimulation/SplitOff.exe
PCTA_IP AND PORTs ID MISSING (USING :1235 NETWORK:1236 as default)!!!
Error in opening semLockPorts file...

this will work for this user only. but for all users ?
