In this case, I expect that the shared libraries will not be found, since the loader will look for them in a _directory named_ "MOPAC2012.exe", not "/opt/mopac". > export LD_LIBRARY_PATH > alias mopac='/opt/mopac/MOPAC2012.exe' > > The permissions for /opt/mopac are: drwxrwxrwx > > > (I should note at this point that this works flawlessly in my > production machine.) Maybe there are copies of the libraries in another directory that the loader searches, or "/opt/mopac" is listed in "/etc/ld.so.conf". > comp@inga:~$ /opt/mopac/MOPAC2012.exe > /opt/mopac/MOPAC2012.exe: error while loading shared libraries: > libiomp5.so: can > not open shared object file: No such file or directory > > The workaround is to copy the argument to /opt/mopac, run the > executable for the calculation, and then transfer the results to the > working directory. > > This is most inconvenient and I would really appreciate a solution to > the problem. Try fixing the line that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or adding "/opt/mopac" to "/etc/ld.so.conf" and run ldconfig to update the cache. Petter -- "I'm ionized" "Are you sure?" "I'm positive." Well, that was a red-faced forehead slapper. The solution, or rather the problem, was staring me in the face and I faled to comprehend. Thanks very much for your reply! Stephen P.
