Fail under Linux. Does not find libraries that are really present
sandro dentella
The same configuration that generates working executable under
Windows
fails under Linux with the following error. Really it works on the
machine
that generated it but fails when run on a different machine.
I generated it under ubuntu 8.04, it fails with the same error under
ubuntu 8.10 and ubuntu 9.04. It complains libffi.so.4: no such file
or
directory, but that file is present in the dir created by
pyinstaller.
Analizing wih strace -e trace=open (http://dpaste.com/57495/) you
can see
that it searches in the real filesystems and does not search in the
dir
generated by pyinstaller (/home/sandro/src/skdir/sqledit)
Any hints?

PyInstaller does set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory where it's running
from (in one-dir mode). Try printing the contents of that environment
variable at the beginning of the program, before importing GTK.
So, I'm unsure why it's being ignored when you change the Linux version.
Can you maybe help debugging this? It's probably related to ld.so
configuration or something like that.

no, os.environ['LD_LIBRARY_PATH'] is empty

In fact it's empty in the machine where I produce it, also...

The following example shows what I mean:
sandro@bluff:/misc/src/svn/pyinstaller-hg$ cat babex/ex2.py
import os
print "\nLD_LIBRARY_PRELOAD:", os.environ.get('LD_LIBRARY_PRELOAD', None)
sandro@bluff:/misc/src/svn/pyinstaller-hg$ Makespec.py babex/ex2.py
wrote /home/misc/src/svn/pyinstaller-hg/ex2/ex2.spec
now run Build.py to build the executable
sandro@bluff:/misc/src/svn/pyinstaller-hg$ Build.py ex2/ex2.spec

Do other people have different behaviour on Linux?

I have fixed this in PyInstaller trunk. Can you try again please?
