How do I get rid of LD_LIBRARY_PATH at run-time?

Question

I am building a C++ application that uses Intel\'s IPP library. This library is installed by default in /opt and requires you to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH both for compil

Answer 1

You should use the -R option if possible.

If not, rename your executable and create a launch script that runs your executable, and in there set LD_LIBRARY_PATH just for that scope.

Depending on platform, you can modify ld.so.conf via /etc/ld.so.conf.d (Redhat/Fedora come to mind) which makes deploying changes to ld.so "easier" from a deployment scenario.
