Hi,
I have a setup.sh that came with a app, it is all setup properly.
The script launches a external program to check the glibc version and it fails because the external program can't find a .so
The .so is in the same folder as the executable.
This all works perfectly on Suse, Red Hat etc

I am just doing a ./setup.sh (it's on a cdrom and cd has exec in fstab)

It's like the Gentoo paths are messed up.

Any Idea's

Tony

By default (at least on my gentoo system), Gentoo doesn't include ./ in the $PATH. Try:

Code:
echo $PATH


to see if it's in yours. If it's not, adding that should solve your problem. Alternately, you can always put a symlink in /usr/bin or some other place already in your path, but that's kind of a hack.

Kurt,
I just did a echo $PATH on my suse box at work and it does not have ./ in it. It must be something else?
I check the PATH on my GENTOO box and it does not have it.

I should be able to install something from a CDROM :-(

Folks, as a general rule, PLEASE do not cross post or double post the same issue across multiple forums. We really have plenty of traffic as it is -- we don't need to add more. :)

Locking this thread in favor of this one.
