Hi,
I recently updated root to 6.20 from 6.18, and now I cannot load anymore my shared libraries, because LD_LIBRARY_PATH is ignored by root.
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly returns my list of paths where I have shared libraries, while with root I get this:
root [0] gSystem->GetDynamicPath()
(const char *) "~/programs/root6/install/lib/root:.:~/programs/root6/install/lib/root:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tls/x86_64:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tls:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/x86_64:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tls/x86_64:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tls:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/x86_64:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/lib/tls/x86_64:/lib/tls:/lib/x86_64:/lib:/usr/lib/tls/x86_64:/usr/lib/tls:/usr/lib/x86_64:/usr/lib"
root [1] getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH")
(char *) "~/programs/root6/install/lib/root"
which is not the content of my LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
This happens only for LD_LIBRARY_PATH: any other environment variable is ok.
On the same system I also have an old root 5.34, for which getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH") returns the correct paths.
I don’t have anymore root 6.18 on my system, but if I try the same with the 6.18 version on lxplus I also get the correct paths.
Passing the full path to the libraries does not solve my problem, because some libraries depend on others:
root [0] .L build/linuxx8664gcc/root6/lib/libdebug.so
root [1] .L build/linuxx8664gcc/root6/lib/libDateTimeTools.so
cling::DynamicLibraryManager::loadLibrary(): libdebug.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Any suggestions?
Best,
Claudio
