Hi,

I am newbee to linux. I am trying to executing a script which does "chroot" for an executable. But I am getting following error.

The chroot in the script is
chroot /var/mnt/test /testbin/myapp

The script bails out with following error.

/testbin/myap: error while loading shared libraries: cannot open shared object file: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory


I tried ldd for the application. All the shared libraries which are required for myapp are present. Please help me to solve this

- Thanks,
Senthil

is your chroot environment the same architecture as the host environment? that is generally (to my experience) the cause of this error

...and in addition to what's posted already:
Libs present, cool, but are they available inside the chroot in a location the loader (ld: /var/mnt/test/etc/ld.so.conf: /var/mnt/test/lib, /var/mnt/test/usr/lib) expects them to be?

Great. I found a library missing in the chroot jail. I am having some other issues with my system now. I will let you know once it becomes ready.
Thanks for your replies.
