Good Afternoon, I'm trying to port freevo svn install to openbsd 4.6 and I think I'm nearly there and ready to capture and blog the changes I had to make :)
However I face hopefully one last issue: childapp.py uses the python subprocess popen call which executes mplayer gives a quick screen blank or redraw and the OS tries to load mplayer I see if I watch 'ps ax' while trying to watch a movie. But nothing actually plays and the mplayer-stderr* log file reads: /usr/local/bin/mplayer: can't load library '' I see if I make /usr/lib/mplayer a simple /bin/sh script I can run any statically compiled binary in here from freevo with no errors. However if place a dynamically compiled binary in my script to be called it fails and logs to the mplayer-stderr*: $BINARY_PATH/$BINARY: Can't load library '' Currently my shell script looks like this: #!/bin/sh export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/libexec:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/lib /usr/bin/ldd /usr/local/bin/mplayer.real >/tmp/output This results in log lines of the following: /usr/bin/ldd: can't load library '' I think this is probably OpenBSD specific but on my googles can't find a way to allow python to call dynamically linked binaries and be able to find/load the libraries it needs :( Anyone know a way around this or a good place to start digging?
