Standard location of ld and compatibility
« on: April 01, 2015, 05:52:41 PM »
I've been toying around with using tcz packages on Ubuntu and ChromeOS.

Biggest pain-point I've hit has been that the programmer interpreter link in Core64 does not align.
ChromeOS and Ubuntu expect: /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

Meanwhile, everything in Core64 (6.x) has the bare lib folder encoded:
/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

Was that an intentional design decision? Are there easy ways around it? I was able to use a wrapper (simply running the so as the first argument), but for complex cases, like gcc, it's far too much work, as gcc uses execv to hit additional components.

For anyone who has run into this, the nixos patchelf program can assist:

You can just create a symlink.

sudo ln -s /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib

And yes, it's intentional, a lib64 directory is ugly ;)
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
