New issue 116 by tobias.p...@student.hpi.uni-potsdam.de: "Can't infer base LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Aborting." On Linux Mint Debian Edition Update Pack 6 http://code.google.com/p/cog/issues/detail?id=116

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install Linux Mint Debian Edition with Update Pack 6 2. Try to run './squeak' from the folder where the cogvm and my squeak images reside

I would expect squeak to start, as it did before.

The problem happens with 4.0-2585 and 4.0-2640 (most up to date version I could get a hold off). I suspect that the problem has got something to do with the multiarch support in update pack 6. Because the return value of ldd ./squeak is now different than the shell script expects. It returns:

squeak/lib/squeak/4.0-2640$ ldd ./squeak linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf777c000) libutil.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libutil.so.1 (0xf7753000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xf774f000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7735000) libm.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xf770f000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libnsl.so.1 (0xf76f8000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xf7595000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf777d000)

The libc line is substantially different then what the shell script expects ("/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc*)"). But a quick fix could do it.

As a work around, running the binary directly works like a charm.

Cheers
