setting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
is a workaround in my opinion. The shared library (client) hasRPATH
/RUNPATH
set to find the dependency libraries, but for some reason the install layout isn't correct on Debian / Fedora (at least, not for the matrix that I tried): theRUNPATH
is being set, but it points to a non-existent directory. Specifically, thepyxrootd
client lib is installed into the.egg-info
directory instead of thepyxrootd
directory insite-packages
. This looks like a bug rather than a deliberate layout decision, although I'm not familiar with the platform nuances here to know for certain!
Agreed — definitely a "get things working now" approach (though I've become far too used to having to update LD_LIBRARY_PATH
for working with Debian packages in general, so this is sadly not rare). Once it is understood what it should be and what it is now I would recommend opening up a new Issue that documents all of this clearly and asks an XRootD maintainer to fix it.
