ldd for different processor/architecture

madhav.kulkarni1986 · 09-05-2013, 07:44 AM

When "ldd -s" is executed on a compiled binary on different systems with same arch type it produces different results. To eleborate, if they binary is using a rpath while compiling, on a system this is shown when we run "ldd -s" and on other it doesn ot show up.

My question:
- does ldd depend on system processor and/or what other aspects?
- Is it possible to list the RPATH even though ldd depends on some system paramters when run on the system other than the one it was built for.

Thanks

It's different on different hardware because the dependent libraries for your particular case are different on each system.

A suggestion would be to post the two different ldd results you are seeing and describe the systems and kernel versions which are on each system. Use "uname -a" to get the kernel version.
