+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #558476 +++ Description of problem: xmlsec1 uses an embedded copy of libtool's ltdl to lt_dlopen() xmlsec1 wrappers for various crypto libraries (openssl, nss, gnutls). ltdl version bundled with xmlsec1 is, however, quite old and does not include following upstream commit: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/commit/?id=30ab30e06ad06aad77a478f3f6e51a5db5bfc2f5 Due to that, if xmlsec1 is built on the system with 'include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf' in /etc/ld.so.conf, it will add 'include' and 'ld.so.conf.d/*.conf' to library search path used by ltdl. Those relative paths are searched after system lib directories (/lib /usr/lib) and hence are only tried when appropriate xmlsec1-<crypto> (or xmlsec1-<crypto>-devel, due to a bug #541599) is not installed. Note: The above problem affects Fedora / RHEL builds of xmlsec1. Local builds on system with kernel / kernel-xen packages installed may add additional relative patch to search path, if 'hwcap 0 nosegneg' is listed in one of /etc/ld.so.conf.d/* files (see bug #209930). That was fixed by libtool upstream via: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/commit/?id=b3251f4d7e86d0bd4901de62cd9bcd18ddd7965a Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xmlsec1-1.2.12-2.fc12 Steps to Reproduce: Run: strace -e trace=file /usr/bin/xmlsec1 --verify --crypto FOO /dev/null Search output for lines as: open("/lib64/libxmlsec1-FOO.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib64/libxmlsec1-FOO.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("include/libxmlsec1-FOO.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("ld.so.conf.d/*.conf/libxmlsec1-FOO.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
