ERROR: ld.so: object LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored

Question

I am using ubuntu 12.04. Every time I start my bash terminal and every time when I finish typing a command(and press enter) , I get this message:

ERROR:

Answer 1

If you want to make sure that the library is loaded if and only if the program lunar-calendar-gtk is launched, you can apply this:

You set the environment variable per command by prefixing the command with it:

$ LD_PRELOAD="liblunar-calendar-preload.so" printenv "LD_PRELOAD"
liblunar-calendar-preload.so
$ printenv "LD_PRELOAD"
$

You can then choose to put this in a shell script and make lunar-calendar-gtk a symlink to this shell script, replaceing the original referencee. This effectively makes sure that the library is loaded everytime the original application is executed.

You will have to rename the original lunar-calendar-gtk to something else, which might not be too intriguing as it possibly may cause issues with uninstallation and upgrading. However, I found it useful with a former version of Skype.
