Bug #9437
Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) over 10 years ago
miniruby will not load and gets an error of: ``` linking miniruby Could not load program ./miniruby: Dependent module libgmp.a(libgmp.so.10) could not be loaded. Could not load module libgmp.a(libgmp.so.10). System error: No such file or directory make: *** [.rbconfig.time] Error 255 ``` The dump -H of miniruby shows: ``` dump -H miniruby miniruby: ***Loader Section*** Loader Header Information VERSION# #SYMtableENT #RELOCent LENidSTR 0x00000001 0x00000811 0x000031ec 0x000000b9 #IMPfilID OFFidSTR LENstrTBL OFFstrTBL 0x00000007 0x000318c8 0x0000942e 0x00031981 ***Import File Strings*** INDEX PATH BASE MEMBER 0 /gsa/ausgsa/projects/r/ruby/prvm/ruby-2.1.0/lib:/usr/lib:/lib 1 libpthread.a shr_comm.o 2 libpthread.a shr_xpg5.o 3 libgmp.a libgmp.so.10 4 libcrypt.a shr.o 5 libc.a shr.o 6 librtl.a shr.o ``` Note the dependency of libgmp. libgmp is not in /usr/lib or /lib but is in another directory that the compiler knows about via the prefix path but Ruby does not. So the link succeeds because ld knows how to find libgmp but the execution does not because of the embedded LIBPATH (element 0 above). This has come up before. I can work around the issue by various ways but I thought I should open an issue. I'm happy to help out with debug or more data.
