Hi all
I have same name libraries in two different locations, eg. /usr/lib/libXXX.so and /usr/local/lib/libXXX.so. They were created using same sources and the same compiler.
The app1 is linked with /usr/lib/libXXX.so and app2 is linked with /usr/local/lib/libXXX.so.
When app2 is run, the dynamic linker (ld-elf.so.1) finds /usr/lib/libXXX.so first and ends up with following error:
undefined reference to `_myxxx'
This is not an issue with Linux's dynamic linker but it seems FreeBSD's function look up is very specific. I cannot change the dynamic linker's search path, then app1 fails.
How do I get the app2 to refer to /usr/local/lib/libXXX.so?
In FreeBSD, is there a way to instruct the dynamic linker (ld-elf.so.1) to continue to search for the same library name in different locations?
What are the other possible options?
Appreciate your reply.
Kind regards
Unga
