I followed the instructions and build my nginx without any errors, but I  
am  
facing issues starting the server. I am getting an error:  
./nginx: error while loading shared libraries: libdrizzle.so.1: cannot  
open  
shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried ldd and found that it is unable to link to my libDrizzle  
libraries.

I exported the required paths as per documentation  
LIBDRIZZLE\_INC=/usr/local/include/libdrizzle-1.0  
LIBDRIZZLE\_LIB=/usr/local/lib

root@lb1:/usr/local/lib# ls -l

What am I doing wrong or how can I fix this issue.

Thanks

You need to tell your system where to look for libdrizzle.so 🙂  
Basically there’s at least two ways (assuming your libdrizzle.so is  
under /usr/local/lib/):

1. Specify the LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH environment before starting your nginx:

2. Specify the run path (or “rpath”) in your nginx executable by  
passing the command-line option  
–with-cc-opt=“-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib” to your nginx’s ./configure  
script.

I think the 2nd approach is better for production 🙂

Thanks agentzh, I can confirm that this works 🙂

Sorry, there’s a typo here. it should be --with-ld-opt, rather than  
–with-cc-opt 😛
