Wow those directories are waaay to deep. Whoever did that was not afraid of PATH_MAX.

You have two different versions of middleware. While trying what I am showing you, be sure sure you find a common and correct release level of the libraries. Maybe it is: libbfunctor.so. in the 7.5.5.0.02 subdirectory -- this must match the current production version of the library.

Anyway - you have coerce the linker ld into using directory names that match what is on the problem server, even if they are not real on the compile server

Here is one way:

Library names are often symlinks. Like /usr/lib/libc.so is usually a symlink that points to the current version of libc, like maybe libc.so.4.2.1.

You need to trick the linker into using names it can find on the other box. This means two separate compiles with two makefiles, one the old way, one the new way to get around this nonsense for the problem machine. You already know the old way.

Those names are beyond absurdly long, so here is an example using sane paths.
Let's say you compile on machine A. And link to libfunctor.so which is really:

Code:

/usr/path/to/libc/libfunctor.so.1234 
# where it is a symlink
/usr/path/to/libc/libfunctor.so -> /usr/path/to/libc/libfunctor.so.1234

Now we know that

Code:

/usr/path/to

does not exist on one machine. So, on the compile machine we create a dummy directory that just has some symlinks in it.

We also know that on the problem machine the path to a libfunctor library we can use is
/opt/foo/gargle/libfunctor.so.1234 (HAS TO BE the SAME version as on the compile box).

This does not exist yet on the compile box. So. On the compile box we are going one make one via a symlink:

Code:

mkdir -p /opt/foo/gargle
ln-s /usr/path/to/libc/libfunctor.so.1234 /opt/foo/gargle/libfunctor.so.1234

Do the same for each library - I think there just two.

Change the -L command in your new makefile to point

Code:

-L /opt/foo/gargle

Run the new makefile. You can tell the compiled versions apart by running the command

Code:

ldd myprogname | grep libfunctor

Distribute the one that uses /opt/foo/gargle to the box that has /opt/foo/gargle/

You now know why installing software onto any old directory tree name on different UNIX boxes: is a pain in the butt.
