I've gotten myself pretty far along with being able to run things without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. On SunOS 5.9 I'm running into a bit of a strange problem that I wonder if people have seen before. I need to specify an rpath to find libstdc++.so.6 but I'm not sure what the best way is. First, here's the error I see: bash-2.05$ ./testrunner -kv ld.so.1: ./testrunner: fatal: libstdc++.so.6: open failed: No such file or directory I think the key here is that when configuring, I change to a non-default C and C++ compiler by setting these: CC=/usr/local/tools/sun4u_SunOS/gcc-3.4.4/bin/gcc CXX=/usr/local/tools/sun4u_SunOS/gcc-3.4.4/bin/g++ It seems like checking to see if a non-default CXX is being used and setting rpath appropriately would cover it. Trouble is, I haven't deciphered enough of AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS_BODY to see how get the appropriate flags for setting rpath without adding another configure option. Any chance someone with sharper m4 skills can help me split AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS_BODY so that the stuff below the AC_LIB_ARG_WITH invocation is a separate function? There's lots more detail below if it's helpful. Thanks. -DB bash-2.05$ ls -l /usr/local/tools/sun4u_SunOS/gcc-3.4.4/lib/*stdc* -rw-r--r-- 1 sandman users 7355340 Nov 11 2005 /usr/local/tools/sun4u_SunOS/gcc-3.4.4/lib/libstdc++.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 sandman users 998 Nov 11 2005 /usr/local/tools/sun4u_SunOS/gcc-3.4.4/lib/libstdc++.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 nobody4 nogroup 18 Nov 11 2005 /usr/local/tools/sun4u_SunOS/gcc-3.4.4/lib/libstdc++.so -> libstdc++.so.6.0.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 nobody4 nogroup 18 Nov 11 2005 /usr/local/tools/sun4u_SunOS/gcc-3.4.4/lib/libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 sandman users 5376896 Nov 11 2005 /usr/local/tools/sun4u_SunOS/gcc-3.4.4/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.3 The relevant part of ldd -s testrunner is: find object=libstdc++.so.6; required by testrunner search path=/usr/local/tools/sun4u_SunOS/gcc-3.4.4/cppunit-1.8/lib (RPATH from file testrunner) trying path=/usr/local/tools/sun4u_SunOS/gcc-3.4.4/cppunit-1.8/lib/libstdc++.so.6 search path=/usr/lib (default) trying path=/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6 => (file not found) My /usr/lib doesn't have any libstdc++ related files in it.
