Summary Problems configuring LD_LIBRARY_PATH in an Orbix 64 bit environment because of mixup between 32 and 64 bit libraries
Article Number 13824
Environment Orbix 6.3.3 Red Hat Linux Solaris 64 bit environment
Question/Problem Description Problems configuring LD_LIBRARY_PATH in an Orbix 64 bit environment because of mixup between 32 and 64 bit libraries

Error from running a 32 bit binary with the 64 bit plugins coming first in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or when running a 64 bit binary with the 32 bit plugins coming first in LD_LIBRARY_PATH is....

(IT_CORE:1) E - could not load plug-in cfr_handler: Using configuration scope of "art", failed to open shared library; configuration variable "plugins_cfr_handler:shlib_name" is set to "it_cfr_handler". Run with environment variable IT_SHLIB_VERBOSE set to 1 for more information.
(IT_CORE:9) F - could not find a plug-in for domain type it-config


Error when executing a 64 bit C Orbix Server:

"./server: error while loading shared libraries: libit_ifc_gcc34.so.5:
wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32"

Clarifying Information
Error Message
Defect/Enhancement Number
Cause Unix loader will look for first plugin it finds in LD_LIBRARY_PATH for 32 bit and LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 then LD_LIBRARY_PATH for 64 bit executables. Therefore an Orbix 64 bit environment must use LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 to correctly call Orbix 32 bit services and binaries that are part of the product.
Resolution Use LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 (and not LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to point to the Orbix 64 bit libraries. Check how this is done in the Orbix domain environment script as created by configuring a domain with the itconfigure tool.
