$ORIGIN problem in freebsd 6.2
Hi all, I have a problem with the runtime library linking on freebsd6.2_ix86... My executable file is linked to the others shared libraries (on compile time) and for the runtime, rpath was set to $ORIGIN( i checked this and with 'readelf' utility). Now, the issue is why, when i try to run my executable, the shared libraries cannot be found although all needed libraries are in the same path to the executable?The same thing result and after running 'ldd myexecutable' command, none library is find... I realize that the $ORIGIN variable is ignored or unknown after I change the rpath with the entire path to the shared libraries and then everything goes properly. Is here another solution to set up the search path to the same dir with the executable?...or I must to update my /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 and my 'ld' utility(the version of ld is 2.15) Thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please note that you sent your email to our general questions lists. Since Opera is a a third-party application for us the more adequate list would have been [EMAIL PROTECTED] (CC'ed, please drop questions@ from CCs on further replies). My name is Anna Rajsman and I am working in Opera Software. Recently I took over Linux distribution at Opera and I have been going through the distribution agreements we have with Linux providers and I haven't found any with FreeBSD Linux. As other pointed out in a rather rude way, for which I apologise, FreeBSD (and *BSDs in general) are not Linux. Since we're rather proud of our unix heritage people do tend to get inflamed when someone talks about BSD as being an some Linux distro. We would like to ask you if you would like to distribute the Opera browser with your OS? Or maybe you are doing it already? Would you like to sign a distribution agreement with Opera? Opera is in our ports framework, both the native version and the linux version (both maintainers CC'ed). I don't know offhand if we distribute the binaries on our CD images; from reading the licence I don't see the any requirement to have a signed agreement for this, but if this is not the case please let me know. I am using Opera as my primary browser since v3 or something, but I am a little disappointed the the problems we're seeing on FreeBSD are rarely addressed. And indeed the binaries you're producing are for FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x while we will release 6.2 in a month. -- IOnut - Un^d^dregistered ;) FreeBSD user Intellectual Property is nowhere near as valuable as Intellect BOFH excuse #379: We've picked COBOL as the language of choice signature.asc Description: PGP signature
