Building with geo-ip when GeoIP lib in non-standard location

Server NGINX
#1

I have the GeoIP lib installed in a non standard location. I am
configuring nginx like

./configure --prefix=$NGX_PATH --with-pcre=$HOME/tarballs/pcre-8.10 --without-http_autoindex_module --without-http_charset_module --without-http_empty_gif_module --without-http_geo_module --without-http_ssi_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_geoip_module --with-cc-opt="-I $HOME/apps/GeoIP/include" --with-ld-opt="-L $HOME/apps/GeoIP/lib"

Nginx will configure, make and make install okay.

But when I try to start it I get the error

error while loading shared libraries: libGeoIP.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How should I get nginx with the geo-ip module to work when the GeoIP lib
is installed in a non-standard location?

Thanks

Dave

Try

–with-ld-opt="-R $HOME/apps/GeoIP/lib -L $HOME/apps/GeoIP/lib"[/code]

Unfortunately I get the following error when running configure with
that:

./configure: error: the invalid value in --with-ld-opt="-R /home/djeyewater/apps/GeoIP/lib -L /home/djeyewater/apps/GeoIP/lib"

What is in objs/autoconf.err near this test ?

Hi Igor

objs/autoconf.err has

[code]checking for --with-ld-opt="-R /home/djeyewater/apps/GeoIP/lib -L
/home/djeyewater/apps/GeoIP/lib"

gcc: unrecognized option ‘-R’
/home/djeyewater/apps/GeoIP/lib: file not recognized: Is a directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status[/code]

The gcc and ld versions installed are:
gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)
GNU ld version 2.17.50.0.6-14.el5 20061020

Unfortunately that’s the same (from autoconf.err):

[code]checking for --with-ld-opt="-rpath /home/djeyewater/apps/GeoIP/lib
-L /home/djeyewater/apps/GeoIP/lib"

gcc: unrecognized option ‘-rpath’
/home/djeyewater/apps/GeoIP/lib: file not recognized: Is a directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status[/code]

Oh, sorry, I have just noticed that this is an gcc’s error, but not
linker’s one. Try

–with-ld-opt="-Wl,-R,$HOME/apps/GeoIP/lib -L $HOME/apps/GeoIP/lib"

or

–with-ld-opt="-Wl,-rpath,$HOME/apps/GeoIP/lib -L $HOME/apps/GeoIP/lib"

--with-ld-opt="-Wl,-R,$HOME/apps/GeoIP/lib -L $HOME/apps/GeoIP/lib" worked

Thanks for the help!
