This + overrides the normal library search path, possibly interfering with + local policy and causing problems for multilib, among other issues. + . + As an aggravating factor, this search path is relative! It is probably + not what you wanted. + . + The only time a binary or shared library in a Debian package should + set RPATH or RUNPATH is if it is linked to private shared libraries + in the same package. In that case, place those private shared + libraries in <code>/usr/lib/*package*</code>. Libraries used by + binaries in other packages should be placed in <code>/lib</code> or + <code>/usr/lib</code> as appropriate, with a proper SONAME, in which case + RPATH/RUNPATH is unnecessary. + . + To fix this problem, look for link lines like: + . + <code>gcc test.o -o test -Wl,--rpath,/usr/local/lib</code> + or + <code>gcc test.o -o test -R/usr/local/lib</code> + . + and remove the <code>-Wl,--rpath</code> or <code>-R</code> argument. + . + You can also use the <code>chrpath</code> utility to remove the RPATH. +See-Also: + https://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue, + Bug#732682, + Bug#732674 |
