Question

I’m trying to compile example from GnuTLS. I can compile GnuTLS with no problem.

I usually use this command when I have default GnuTLS package installed. I compile the example with this commend.

gcc -o server ex-serv-srp.c  -lgnutls

I build GnuTLS from source. I can compile the example with the same command but when I try to run the example I get this error:

./server: error while loading shared libraries: libgnutls.so.28: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The location of libgnutls.so.28 is in /usr/local/lib directory. How I can link the example during compilation time so that they will know where to find libgnutls.so.28

Regards

You should set LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable like this export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib.
