程序无法加载共享库 GCC

Question

First things first, here is the error message: ./Game: error while loading shared libraries: libEngine.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

There was no problems while compiling.

Library directories passed to GCC while compiling Game: -L../../bin -L.

Directory tree: ENGINE -bin --Game (executable) --libEngine.so -Game --src ---source code + Game makefile -Engine --src ---source code + shared library makefile I can provide more info on demand.

Answer 1

Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a possible, but usually not the best solution. In particular, dependence on environment produces programs which work for you, but not for your coworkers or your professor (because their environment is different).

Adding -rpath=/path/to/bin to the link line eliminates the need to muck with environment.

Even better: -rpath='$ORIGIN' lets you move the entire installation directory to a different place, and the program will still find its shared libraries in its own bin/ directory.

Answer 2

Future me, I have found the problem and solved. I am writing this to other people that may encountered this problem I solved it by simply adding a library path: You can learn more about it here:
