PTmender, PTuncrop without root access?

[Erik Krause]

Hello,

I'd like to run PTmender and PTuncrop on a server (ubuntu 14 x86_64)
where I don't have root access for installation. I copied PTmender and
PTuncrop from a deb package and it starts but complains about libpano13
shared library not found (even though it's in the same directory, which
is also on PATH). Is there a way around this problem? F.e. a stand alone
version?

On Linux traditionally many program share the same shared libraries - which can decrease the size of a linux installation to 10% and less. ...and it is deemed to be a potential security problem if one picks up .dll files that are just lying around somewhere (search for dll injection for details).

But there is a variable named LD_LIBRARY_PATH that tells the dynamic library loader where to search for libraries. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13428910/how-to-set-the-environmental-variable-ld-library-path-in-linux for details.

Kind regards,
