Cannot find shared libraries even -rpath is set correctly
I am building a third party program which is using libraries from a directory which is not set in /etc/ld.so.conf - therefore I link the program with the -rpath option.
Running objdump -x bin/GetHistPrices | grep -i path to check if -rpath is set correctly I get the confirmation it is OK:
RUNPATH
/application/FXCM-API/GetHistPrices/bin:
/application/FXCM-API/lib:
/application/FXCM-API/sample_tools/lib
cmake copies all libraries into the same directory where the executable is generated [e.q. ../GetHistPrices/bin]; therefore the 1st path is OK.
Even more, the last 2 paths point also to directories where the shared libraries are located - these -rpath options are added automatically by the cmake script.
When I try to run the program NOT inside the ../GetHistPrices/bin/ directory [where it is located] - e.q. I don't execute it with ./GetHistPrices - so I get this error message:
bin/GetHistPrices: error while loading shared libraries:
libgsexpat.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The program only gets started when I either run it from the bin/ or /application/FXCM-API/lib directory because the needed library is located there.
1)
When I run the program withLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/application/FXCM-API/GetHistPrices/bin" bin/GetHistPrices
then it starts. But this is what I see as well in the executable. Strange!
2)
Adding /application/FXCM-API/GetHistPrices/bin to /etc/ld.so.conf let start the program as well successfully.
OS is SLES 12.3 - honestly, somehow it looks to me like a bug in the system.
My question:
What am I doing wrong that it doesn't work even RUNPATH is correctly set in the executable.
