Install the glibc report configure LD_LIBRARY_PATH error

Question

Install the glibc-2.17 on redhat, download, unzip, configure then report LD_LIBRARY_PATH error:

checking for gawk... gawk
checking version of gawk... 3.1.7, ok
checking for nm... nm
checking for autoconf... autoconf
checking whether autoconf works... no
configure: WARNING:
*** These auxiliary programs are missing or incompatible versions: autoconf
*** some features will be disabled.
*** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.
checking LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable... contains current directory
configure: error:
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH shouldn't contain the current directory when
*** building glibc. Please change the environment variable
*** and run configure again.

Check my environment of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the following:

$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/public/software/apps/boost-1.59.0/include:/public/software/apps/boost-1.59.0/lib:/usr/local/cudnn/cuda/lib64/:/usr/loca

ib:/public/home/chensu/lib/sparsehash-master:/public/home/chensu/lib/sparsehash/include/google:/public/home/chensu/lib/s
parsehash/include/sparsehash

Does anybody know how to set it? I will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Try replacing :: with : (only single column) in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Answer 2

Please remove your current directory from LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable

Answer 3

I have also come across this issuse. According to comment here, it is because your LD_LIBRARY_PATH has an empty entry (in mkl/lib/intel64::). When an empty entry is found in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ld will start finding library from current directory.

You need to somehow remove that empty entry from LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Answer 4

From my attempts to install glibc-2.32, I discovered that $LD_LIBRARY_PATH should not have a trailing :.

Answer 5
