Passing LD_LIBRARY_PATH through sudo

Alexander Farber <alexander.farber@xxxxxxxxx> · Fri, 17 Dec 2010 22:04:00 +0100

Hello,

I have a CentOS 5.5/64bit VM, where I only have sudo rights:

afarber          ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL

I'm trying to pass LD_LIBRARY_PATH
through sudo to install DBD::Oracle
( https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=63678 )
and have tried using "sudo -E" and also
changing these lines in the stock /etc/sudoers:

Defaults    !env_reset
Defaults    env_keep = "LD_LIBRARY_PATH \
                        COLORS DISPLAY HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC KDEDIR \
                        LS_COLORS MAIL PS1 PS2 QTDIR USERNAME \
                        LANG LC_ADDRESS LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE LC_IDENTIFICATION \
                        LC_MEASUREMENT LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY LC_NAME
LC_NUMERIC \
                        LC_PAPER LC_TELEPHONE LC_TIME LC_ALL LANGUAGE LINGUAS \
                        _XKB_CHARSET XAUTHORITY"

Still my test call fails:

afarber@VM:~> echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64
afarber@VM:~> sudo -E perl -e 'print $ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}';
afarber@VM:~>
afarber@VM:~> sudo -E perl -e 'print $ENV{HOME}';
/home/afarber

Does anybody please have a suggestion here?

Thank you
Alex
