RPATHS in binaries (original) (raw)

Hi,

I was poking around the LD_LIBRARY_PATH change in the launchers. Joe Darcy's blog post [1] was a great resource for this (thanks Joe!). There's one thing I dont quite get and I was hoping someone could shed some light on this.

Most of the binary launchers contain RPATHS to the jli lib:

$ readelf --dynamic java | grep RPATH 0x000000000000000f (RPATH) Library rpath: [$ORIGIN/../lib/amd64/jli:$ORIGIN/../jre/lib/amd64/jli]

Is there a reason there is no RPATH entry that points to $ORIGIN/../lib/amd64/ ?

Thanks, Omair
