Segmentation fault (lib and local/lib)

[lgoss007]

I am trying to have both an installed ubuntu library and a development library (cvs) installed at the same time so that I can do tests on the cvs version but still work with the released version. However when I try to run a program I get a "Segmentation fault".

Here are the steps I follow:

1> I download the cvs version and compile.
2> Make my program based off library (using -L/usr/local/lib and -I/usr/local/include)
3> Run program.

The program runs fine as I expect.

Then:

4> Go to synaptic and install (library is libopenscenegraph)
5> Run program.

The program gives "Segmentation fault".

I have "/usr/local/lib" in my ld.so.conf, I've run ldconfig, and when I run ldd on my application it gives:

So can anyone give me a clue about why I get a seg fault when I have both libraries installed? How do others deal with release and development versions?

If you're only testing the program then perhaps changing the ld.so.conf is probably a little bit too much. I think changing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable for example testing session could also do the job without affecting other programs :-)

[lgoss007]

Well I deleted the "/usr/local/lib" from ld.so.conf and tried LD_LIBRARY_PATH and for some odd reason it worked. So it appears that something is going wrong with ld.so.

So is this possibly a bug? I don't really want to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH as the majority of my work is with the cvs version and I only occasionally use the other.

It would be extremely odd for the linker to have a problem. I would suspect something I did before something provided by the system. Try running things under valgrind (if you can--valgrind is a bit slow for 3D stuff) to see if you have a problem in your own code.
