gcc libraries being picked up from the wrong location

[Sonison James]

Hello,

I had built an application using gcc 3.2 on one machine. When I try to run the application from another machine which does not have gcc installed on it, it looks for the libraries libgcc_s.sl and libstdc++.sl in /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/hppa2.0n-hp-hpux11.00/3.2/../../../

Any help on this problem would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and regards
Sonison James

How about installing gcc, or at least all the required libraries, on that other machine?

Good luck

Alternatively, build your executable with static (archive) libraries by using the -static or -static-libgcc compiler flags. This will embed the required libraries within the executable resulting in a larger file files. Otherwise you'll have to install the shared libraries on the target system as Adam suggests.

If the libraries are installed in a different location on the target system, set the SHLIB_PATH environment variable before running the program. You may need to run "chatr +s enable " first to enable SHLIB_PATH lookup.

Steve
