Linker library search path

Linker library search path

[Nils.Dehn]

SuSE Linux 2.4.21-215-smp
gcc-3.4.0

My machines comes with a kerberos pre-installed (
/usr/lib/libkrb5.so.17 ).
I have a self compiled kerberos at
/db/opt/krb5-1.3.4/lib/libkrb5.so.3.2).

I'd like to compile an apache module shared library against 
my kerberos libkrb5.so.3.2 version.

Using linker options -L /db/opt/krb5-1.3.4/lib/libkrb5.so.3.2 -l krb5
and libkrb5.so.3.2 being in LD_LIBRARY_PATH I still find (using ldd)
that
my module is linked against BOTH libkrb5.so.17 AND libkrb5.so.3.2

Obviously the linker first tries to resolve the symbols using it's
default
path /usr/lib and then looks for the remaining symbols in the -L path.

How can I get the linker from looking is /usr/lib first ?

For security reasons:
I cannot alter the contents of /usr/lib.
I cannot refresh the library cache using ldconfig.

Thank you in advance

Nils

Hi Nils,

One way is to specify the fully qualified file name to your own krb5...

gcc -o myapp myapp.cpp /db/opt/krb5-1.3.4/lib/libkrb5.so.3.2/libkrb5.so.3.2

...and don't use the -L and -l parameters.

HTH,
