Re: [Autogen-users] Error running new AutoGen

[Bruce K. <bk...@gn...>]

Hi,

It's that detestable dynamic linking junk.  Type this:

   $ ldd $(which autogen)

and you'll see which libopts the thing is trying to link against.
The binary is supposed to have been relinked with -Wl,-rpath
-Wl,/path/to/lib and, thus,
load the correct library.  Like this:

libtool: link: /usr/bin/gcc -std=gnu99 -pthread
-I/usr/local/include/guile/2.0 -ggdb3 -Wall -Werror -Wcast-align
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wwrite-strings -Wno-format-contains-nul -fno-strict-aliasing
-Wstrict-aliasing=2 -o .libs/autogen autogen-ag.o -Wl,--export-dynamic
 ../autoopts/.libs/libopts.so ../snprintfv/.libs/libsnprintfv.a
-L/usr/local/lib64 /usr/local/lib64/libguile-2.0.so -lffi -lrt
-lunistring -lgmp /usr/local/lib64/libltdl.so -lcrypt -lgc -lm -ldl
-pthread -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib64
make[3]: Entering directory `/old-home/bkorb/ag/ag/agen5'
  /bin/sh ../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c autogen
'/usr/local/bin'
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/autogen /usr/local/bin/autogen

and the ldd yields:

$ ldd $(which autogen)
	linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffdd3ff000)
	libopts.so.25 => /usr/local/lib64/libopts.so.25 (0x00007f9a71ed4000)
[......]

There is also an interesting "got'cha" introduced with recent
autoconfs -- please notice
the library directory:  "lib64"
This is new behavior.  Make sure that /etc/ld.so.conf references the correct
directories and prefers the more explicit (lib64) over the platform
generic (lib).

Otherwise, build the thing with ./configure --disable-shared
Shared libraries are for folks that build distributions.
For everyone else, they are too flaky.
