Description Rodrigo Gonzalez 2010-05-05 09:31:08 UTC

If LD_LIBRARY_PATH is defined and '/usr/lib64' appears before '/lib64' any binary I try to execute segfaults. By default LD_LIBRARY_PATH is undefined, and some build scripts export LD_LIBRARY_PATH with /usr/lib64 before /lib64 or no /lib64 at all, causing the packages not to install.

GNU bash, version 4.0.37(2)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

ldd (GNU libc) 2.10.1

Comment 1 Olivier Galibert 2010-05-05 11:29:11 UTC

That seems unique to you, and probably due to some broken leftover in your /usr/lib64.

Try a ldd on a breaking executable with and without LD_LIBRARY_PATH and check what changes.  ldd itself is not dynamic, so it should work.
