Description of problem:

The libhdfs rpm installs the library as:

/usr/lib64/hadoop/libhdfs.so
/usr/lib64/hadoop/libhdfs.so.0.0.0

If I link to the library and then try to run the application it fails because the library is not in the default library search path:

$ ldd libHDFS.so
	linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffeaaa3000)
	libRIO.so.5.34 => /usr/lib64/root/libRIO.so.5.34 (0x00007f7c0f1dd000)
 ---->	libhdfs.so.0.0.0 => not found
	libCore.so.5.34 => /usr/lib64/root/libCore.so.5.34 (0x00007f7c0e80d000)
	libCint.so.5.34 => /usr/lib64/root/libCint.so.5.34 (0x00007f7c0de85000)
	libstdc++.so.6 => /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f7c0db7c000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f7c0d966000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f7c0d5a7000)
	libThread.so.5.34 => lib/libThread.so.5.34 (0x00007f7c0d351000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f7c0d14d000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f7c0ce46000)
	libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00007f7c0cc2f000)
	liblzma.so.5 => /lib64/liblzma.so.5 (0x00007f7c0ca0a000)
	libpcre.so.1 => /lib64/libpcre.so.1 (0x00007f7c0c7a4000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00000033bec00000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f7c0c586000)

This means things do not work out of the box, without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Why are libhdfs.so and libhdfs.so.0.0.0 in /usr/lib64/hadoop instead of /usr/lib64?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ rpm -q libhdfs
libhdfs-2.0.5-8.fc21.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile an executable or a library that links to libhdfs
2. Try to run it, or try using ldd to resolve its dependencies
3. See it fail

Actual results:

libhdfs not found in default library search path

Expected results:

libhdfs found in default library search path
