Re: [Firebird-devel] [ firebird-Bugs-484627 ] UDF are not longer accessible

Hi,

I think this is not a real bug, its just a missing link.

If you do a ldd on udflib you will find this (I renamed mine udflib.mers,
but this is because I have another lib named same)...by the way you will
have the same issue with FreeUDFLib or another one that ldd finds problems
with.

root@www2:/opt/interbase/UDF# ldd udflib.mers
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40038000)
        libgds.so.0 => not found
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4005a000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

As you ca see libgds.so.0 is not found...
root@www2:/opt/interbase/UDF# ls -l /usr/lib/libgds*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           35 Nov 20 17:12 /usr/lib/libgds.so
-> ..
/../opt/interbase/lib/libgds.so.0
r

Seems the link is not installed by the installer anymore...maybe it should
be

So make a link and do ldconfig
root@www2:/opt/interbase/UDF# ln -s /usr/lib/libgds.so /usr/lib/libgds.so.0
root@www2:/opt/interbase/UDF# ldconfig

At this point you should see a different story with ldd
root@www2:/opt/interbase/UDF# ldd udflib.mers
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40038000)
        libgds.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgds.so.0 (0x4005a000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400ad000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
root@www2:/opt/interbase/UDF#

No errors, your library should work now, but I have not verified that
particular one but it made others happy.
