Description Brian Gerst 2005-12-21 10:45:18 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051216 Fedora/1.5-3 Firefox/1.5

Description of problem:
The recent glibc update appears to have broken ld.so such that it does not look outside of the standard lib dirs.  QT is affected by this for example.  ldconfig -p shows the QT libraries, but running any QT apps fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.3.90-21  

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run a QT app (such as kmines)

Actual Results:  kmines: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Expected Results:  App finds libraries and runs.

Note how rawhide skips the cache and uses the system search path to find the libs.
Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2005-12-21 14:35:42 UTC 
Should be fixed in glibc-2.3.90-22.
