Force linker to find stdc++ library in non-standard directory

cafe_carl

I've read a lot of guidance that says the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is searched before anything else, but one of my .so libraries is linking with libtdc++.so.6 in /usr/lib64 . ldd mylib.so: ... libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f82abd18000) ... I want mylib.so to link with libstdc++.so.6 in another location, like /apps/gcc_4.8.0/lib/libstdc++.so.6 So I add /apps/gcc_4.8.0/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH , which does not have /usr/lib64 in it, but...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

It should work with the Wl,--rpath=/apps/gcc_4.8.0/lib/libstdc++.so.6 compiler switch. Update: If you need also the new loader use this compiler switch: -Wl,--dynamic-linker=<path-to-the-new-dynamic-linker>
