Hi Pierre-François,

My only guess at this point is that there's an odd character in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (maybe a space?) that's causing the problem.

What I'd like you to do is

1) set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH on the command line,
2) echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
3) launch pgdbg
4) in the pgdbg Command Window run the command "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH".

Please post the output of #2 and #4 and let me know which shell you're using.

Thanks,
Mat

Matt,
Sorry for the late answer. Here are the outputs you required:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/cea/home/ldg/pr604419/lib/:/cea/home/ldg/pr604419/lib/mtspec/libraries/:/cea/home/ldg/pr604419/PROFON/lib:/cea/dase/produitsdase/lib/RHEL_5__x86_64:/usr/lib:/cea/home/ldg/pr604419/lib/fftw/lib:/usr/local/qt4/4.4.1-gcc/lib:/usr/lib/xorg:/usr/lib64/xorg:/usr/local/libre/lib:/usr/local/libre/lib64:/usr/lib64:/usr/local/gmt-4.1.3/lib:/usr/local/jre-1.6.0_12/lib:/usr/local/oracle-client-admin-10g/RHEL_5__x86_64/lib:/usr/local/oracle-client-admin-10g/RHEL_5__x86_64/lib32

Then, from within pgbdg, setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH returns :
/cea/produits1/pghpf-8.0/linux86-64/8.0-1/bin/../lib

It appears that this path doesn't exist in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Pierre-François,

I sent this on to one of our tool engineers. Unfortunately, he's not able to reproduce the problem either and is as puzzled as I am.

His questions for you are:

Is there is a ".pgdbgrc" file in your home dir or the working directory that is overwriting LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

The pgdbg "driver" is just a /bin/sh shell script. Do you use some bash configuration or environment variable to specify a shell initialization file that might be overwriting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Thanks,
Mat

I have not been able to reproduce it like this, but there may be a way.

Hi Matt,
Well, I do happen to have a .bashrc in my home dir that adds relevant paths to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH. However, I could not find a .pgdbgrc in either my home directory or my working directory.
Do you think the pgdbg shell scripts doesn't see my own environment variables?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Pierre-François,

This just reminded me of a time several years ago when I wrote script to launch an application. It worked fine when I ran it from the command line but failed when I put it into a crontab. Like you, it failed because my LD_LIBRARY_PATH wasn't being set.

It turned out that I had added my "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ..." (I use csh) after the following code in my .cshrc file:
