Configuration of Dynamic Loader

From LNLEpicsWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

To have all tools and programs (like python with EpicsCA) automatically find the EPICS libraries, the dynamic loader has to be configured:

Under /etc/ld.so.conf.d a file epics.conf was created, containing the location of EPICS Base libraries:

/opt/epics/base-3.14.9/lib/linux-x86

Whenever there are new locations for libraries that should be found automatically or a location changes (e.g. when switching to a new EPICS Base release), that file has to be adjusted accordingly.

After updating any of the files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d, run (as root) the command

ldconfig

to activate the changes.
