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

Are they present in the chroot jail? More specifically, Are they in /var/mnt/test? Anything needed for a running system must exist in the chroot because they will not see anything except their changed root.

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.

If the binary loads some libraries only if they're needed, like libresolv.so, they won't show up in the ldd output. In those cases, run strings binary | grep -e '\.so[\.0-9]*$' to see if the binary contains the names of any other dynamic libraries.
