[Oisf-users] Modifying the library path

[robert.jamison at bt.com]

Assuming: 
(1) /usr/local/lib64/libhtp-0.5.17.so.1 not /usr/loca/lib64/libhtp-0.5.17.so.1; 
(2) running binary as unprivileged user

You can probably just link it to /usr/lib like:

[user at host ~]$ sudo su - root
[root at host ~]# ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libhtp-0.5.17.so.1 /usr/lib/libhtp-0.5.17.so.1 
[root at host ~]# ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libhtp-0.5.17.so.1 /usr/lib/libhtp-0.5.17.so

Or increase your unprivileged user's library namespace by:

[user at host ~]$ echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
[user at host ~]$ source ~/.bashrc

Hello,
  suricata 2.0.7
  linux 3.16.6-2-desktop x86_64

  I am building suricata to run on our main server. The build went well enough.
  Running, though, does not:

/usr/local/bin/suricata: error while loading shared libraries:
libhtp-0.5.17.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

  libhtp is installed in /usr/loca/lib64/. My guess is that the library path needs updating. I have forgotten how to do that.
  Would someone be so kind as to show how to update the library path?
