Sorry, it's i686-pc-linux-gnu, Slackware 12.0 (mostly). $ uname -a Linux home 2.6.22.12 #3 PREEMPT Fri Dec 14 17:46:02 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux $ autoconf --version autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61 $ automake --version automake (GNU automake) 1.10 $ libtool --version ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.24 (1.1220.2.455 2007/06/24 02:13:29) $ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 $ ls -l /lib/libc.so.6 ... /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.5.so However I don't think those versions matter, as I've seen this problem for years. > > Sometimes linker failures while installing shared librares are > because the shared libraries were installed in the wrong order, and > re-linking using the final installed locations was required.

The problem is loading a program at start up time (when loading dynamic linked libraries). It's only when a package builds its own libs which it dynamic links to runtime, which isn't that rare. Alright, for reproducibility, here is a small example, inotify-tools-3.12.tar.gz. Firstly please run # locate libinotifytools.so | xargs rm so there is zero chance of hiding the error with stale libraries hiding somewhere on the system. $ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/inotify-tools/inotify-tools-3.12.tar.gz $ tar zxf inotify-tools-3.12.tar.gz $ cd inotify-tools-3.12/ $ ./configure && make && sudo make install [see attachment for full details] $ rehash (if SHELL=/bin/tcsh) $ inotifywait inotifywait: error while loading shared libraries: libinotifytools.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory $ strace -f -s 3000 inotifywait execve("/usr/local/bin/inotifywait", ["inotifywait"], [/* 43 vars */]) = 0 brk(0) = 0x804e000 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7f82000 access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=132796, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 132796, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0xb7f61000 close(3) = 0 open("/lib/tls/i686/sse2/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/lib/tls/i686/sse2", 0xbff6fd78) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib/tls/i686/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/lib/tls/i686", 0xbff6fd78) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib/tls/sse2/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/lib/tls/sse2", 0xbff6fd78) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib/tls/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/lib/tls", 0xbff6fd78) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib/i686/sse2/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/lib/i686/sse2", 0xbff6fd78) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib/i686/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/lib/i686", 0xbff6fd78) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib/sse2/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/lib/sse2", 0xbff6fd78) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/lib", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 open("/usr/lib/tls/i686/sse2/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/lib/tls/i686/sse2", 0xbff6fd78) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/tls/i686/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/lib/tls/i686", 0xbff6fd78) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/tls/sse2/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/lib/tls/sse2", 0xbff6fd78) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/tls/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/lib/tls", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 open("/usr/lib/i686/sse2/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/lib/i686/sse2", 0xbff6fd78) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/i686/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/lib/i686", 0xbff6fd78) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/sse2/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/lib/sse2", 0xbff6fd78) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/libinotifytools.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/lib", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=90112, ...}) = 0 writev(2, [{"inotifywait", 11}, {": ", 2}, {"error while loading shared libraries", 36}, {": ", 2}, {"libinotifytools.so.0", 20}, {": ", 2}, {"cannot open shared object file", 30}, {": ", 2}, {"No such file or directory", 25}, {"\n", 1}], 10inotifywait: error while loading shared libraries: libinotifytools.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ) = 131 exit_group(127) = ?
