I'm not sure if this is related to my issue, but I have reason to doubt that the shared libraries that I extracted from the rpm files are actually being loaded.
In a prior thread, I mentioned that since I don't have admin privileges, I manually extracted the following rpms https://www.xpra.org/dists/CentOS/6.6/x86_64/ : Cython-0.24.1-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm PyOpenGL-3.1.1a1r1-1.el6.noarch.rpm PyOpenGL-Tk-3.1.1a1r1-1.el6.noarch.rpm PyOpenGL-accelerate-3.1.1a1r1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm ffmpeg-xpra-3.1.3-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm ffmpeg-xpra-devel-3.1.3-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.18-4.el6.x86_64.rpm libfakeXinerama-0.1.0-3.el6.x86_64.rpm libvpx-xpra-1.6.0-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm libvpx-xpra-devel-1.6.0-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm libwebp-xpra-0.5.0-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm libwebp-xpra-devel-0.5.0-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm lz4-devel-r131-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm lz4-r131-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm lz4-static-r131-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm python-crypto-2.6.1-2.el6.x86_64.rpm python-lz4-0.8.2-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm python-netifaces-0.10.4-3.el6_6.x86_64.rpm python-pillow-3.2.0-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm python-pillow-devel-3.2.0-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm python-pillow-qt-3.2.0-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm python-pillow-sane-2.6.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm python-pillow-tk-3.2.0-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm python-pycuda-2015.1-1.x86_64.rpm python-pyopengl-3.1.1a1-4.1xpra3.el6_6.x86_64.rpm python-pyopengl-tk-3.1.1a1-4.1xpra3.el6_6.noarch.rpm python-pytools-2015.1.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm python-rencode-1.0.5-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm winswitch-0.12.22-1.x86_64.rpm x264-xpra-20160704-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm x264-xpra-devel-20160704-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm xorg-x11-drv-dummy-0.3.6-15.xpra6.el6.x86_64.rpm xpra-0.17.5-2.r13455.el6_6.x86_64.rpm xpra-common-0.17.5-2.r13455.el6_6.noarch.rpm xvidcore-1.3.4-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm xvidcore-devel-1.3.4-1.el6_6.x86_64.rpm yasm-1.3.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm yasm-devel-1.3.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm Specifically, I created a directory named on a shared disk (i.e. <my_xpra_extract_directory>) and extracted the files in each package in such a way that this directory was effectively the root directory. For example, the *.so files were extracted to '<my_xpra_extract_directory>/usr/lib64' directory tree. I found all of the directories to which I had extracted *.so files and added those directories to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. When running certain X applications, I get the following error message, although the application appears to run fine: ERROR: ld.so: object '/projects/avenger_de1/thomase/xpra/usr/lib64/libfakeXinerama.so.1' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. Also, despite my LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting, my Xorg.:100.log file (I'm using display :100) reports that it is loading the standard /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/dummy_drv.so, rather than the patched driver in <my_xpra_extract_directory>/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/dummy_drv.so.. How can I be sure that any of the libraries that I have downloaded are actually being loaded?
