I think this is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/1253638
My understanding (gleaned in large part from comment #5 of that issue - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/1253638/comments/5 ; errors all mine) is: * RPATH tells the loader where to look for all libraries * the RPATH was deprecated a long time ago because it was thought to be a mistake that RPATH is processed with higher priority than the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable * that deprecation has recently made it's way out to Ubuntu * the ld linker (?) now defaults to setting RUNPATH instead of RPATH. RUNPATH differs from RPATH in two ways: * it's has *lower priority* than the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, and * the loader only uses it to search for direct dependencies, *not transitive dependencies* * this means that a lot of people are going to spend a lot of time trying to figure out why their stuff is broken. As I understand it, there are two solutions: * link with --disable-new-dtags to make linker revert to setting RPATH * fix all your .so files so that they can find their own dependencies (via a RUNPATH setting) In my case, I fixed my problem by rebuilding my Boost libraries with a dll-path flag to tell the build where the .so files would be installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1737608 Title: RPATH no longer respected for indirect dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1737608/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
