Setting library path on AIX machine.

[borntorun]

Guys,

I come from a solaris background and this is driving me nuts.

I need to find a library file from /usr/lib...

So i have a korn shell profile that i have setup as the following:

LIBPATH=/usr/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib
PATH=/usr/lib
export PATH LIBPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Now if i do a which on two files in the /usr/lib it finds one but not the other.

What am i doing wrong?

Example:

$ which librtl.a
/usr/lib/librtl.a

However:

$ which libC.a
which: 0652-141 There is no libC.a in /usr/lib

Now they both exist in the /usr/lib:

$ ls -la libC.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bin bin 23 Jul 12 2003 libC.a -> /usr/lpp/xlC/
lib/libC.a

$ ls -la librtl.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bin bin 21 Jul 12 2003 librtl.a -> /usr/ccs/li
b/librtl.a

Thanks.

I did a bit more research and it is linked to the following file in the following directory:

/usr/lpp/xlC/
lib/libC.a

which has a type bin:bin

Does anybody know what that means?

Thanks.

Hi,
command 'which' give you names that are commands only (having 'x' privilege). If you will go along links you will see that libc.a have it and libC.a have no.
