Shared library problems

[Robert Schweikert <Robert.Schweikert@hks.com>]

I am trying to debug code that has lost of shared libraries and I cannot
make gdb and/or the code find the libraries.

When I run the code and then attach gdb I get stuff like this

(gdb) attach 22736
Attaching to process 22736
0x4644747e in ?? ()

When I try to run the code from within gdb I get stull like this

Starting program: fullPath/myExecutable
fullPath/myExecutable: error while loading shared libraries:
libPyX11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But this is a lie.

(gdb) show env LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH =
/var/wdir/obj_storage/rjschwei/source/6-0/object/linux32/exec/lbr:/var/wdir/obj_storage/rjschwei/source/6-0/object/linux32/Python/Obj/lbr:

/var/wdir/obj_storage/rjschwei/source/6-0/object/linux32/External:/usr/6-0/object/linux32/exec/lbr:/usr/6-0/object/linux32/Python/Obj/lbr:

/usr/6-0/object/linux32/External:/usr/5-adb/object/linux32/exec/lbr:/usr/5-adb/object/linux32/External

And then

ls
/var/wdir/obj_storage/rjschwei/source/6-0/object/linux32/Python/Obj/lbr/libPyX11.so

/var/wdir/obj_storage/rjschwei/source/6-0/object/linux32/Python/Obj/lbr/libPyX11.so

So the library is in a directory that's on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the same
path is on PYTHONPATH and the environment is set the same when I attach
to the process.

Any help in getting this to work is greatly appreciated.
