This is a step forward.

Start by removing the duplicates from that variable. Then move the path we are talking about at the beginning of the string.


Horia.

[bivian]

No, it does not work by removing duplicates or keeping the required path in the beginning.

Probably there is a bug in the linker. Can we use any other linker?

You mean the dynamic loader? No, there is only one.
If you think there is a problem, you'll need to come up with a small test case (that aborts on the first bad load) and contact the Response Center.
They may have a debuggable dld that may help find any user problem.

[Dennis Handly]

Oh, is your executable linked with +s to enable SHLIB_PATH?
How are you dynamically loading that shlib? What shl_load or dlopen parms?

[bivian]

Yes it is linked with +s option.
BTW, i tied to add all the required shared libraries to LD_PRELOAD env variable. This works.
But, i don't understand why SHLIB_PATH does not work.

If you want to pursue this, you'll need to talk to the Response Center.
