not able to link shared library

[sushant keerti]

Hi,
We are using nmake utility to compile and build our application (on hp-ux 11.23 IPF).
We are trying to link third party software SHARED libraries (TUXEDO) to build our application.
Please find the nmake file we are using below

In the nmake file the -lutrace (lbutrace.sl) is the TUXEDO shared library which we are trying to link. Runtime it is failing ( saying library not found).
But if we use the while path like /opt/tuxedo/tuxedo9.1/lib/libutrace.sl instead of -lutrace it works.
Is there any flag that can be used to link shared libraries?. The same nmake file works fine in hp-ux 11.0 PA machine

Shalom,

Check the SHLIB_PATH variable.

Make sure the required library is the first one found on that path.

It would be helpful if you didn't show us your makefile but only the actual link line.

For dld the paths with -L are also used at runtime. You can change this by using LD_LIBRARY_PATH or SHLIB_PATH. You can also embed the path with -Wl,+b,paths.
