Hi, I was trying to check if packages on my system has defined a rpath (1) , I've made a little script: # for f in $(ls /usr/lib64/*.so.* ) ; do chrpath ${f} &>/dev/null; RETVAL=$?; if [ ! $RETVAL == 2 ] ; then chrpath ${f} ; rpm -qf ${f} ; echo "" ; fi; done This script reported around 70 rpath on my system related to nearly 20 different components. For the record, rpmdev-setuptree adds a rpm macro for a local RPM packaging environment: %__arch_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot So that's prevent rpmbuild to build a package using rpath with success. This is not defined in the fedora buildsys by default. (nor autoqa ?...) Now I would like to know how to massively report a bug for each related component ? (at least those that define an rpath in /usr/lib64 from a library in the same directory). Is there any experience doing such bugreport ? For the root cause of the rpath issue on lib64 system is related to a non-upstreamed patch (2) from libtool that prevents (most of the time) the detection of the lib64 sub-directory to be in the default search path of the system linker. Project generated from an upstream version of libtool are likely to generate such issue.
