Is there any way to add a library to the list of libraries required by
an ELF dynamically linked executable?
I have an executable (let's call it "foo") which was written and built
by somebody else [I don't have sources]. It requires the librt to run
on one particular platform, but librt isn't in the exeuctable's list
of libraries. [I'll skip the story of how it ended up this way. It
will be fixed with the next version of that application.]
# foo
foo: can't resolve symbol 'shm_open'
If I run it like this, it's fine:
# LD_PRELOAD=/lib/librt.so.0 foo
Is there any way to fix the ELF executable file to add librt.so.0 to
its list of libraries?
I'm aware I can create a shell script that does this:
#!/bin/sh
export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/librt.so.0
exec foo
What I'm wondering about is whether there is a way to fix the ELF
executable file itself so as to add librt.so.0 to its list of shared
libraries. I've found chrpath(1), but it only changes the search path
used to look for libraires, not the list of libraries themselves.
