The problem turns out to be 32/64 bit. The zpool command uses 32 bit libraries, and I was only setting the 64 bit locations. The minute I did a "file" on the libraries zpool was loading, this became obvious.
Thanks for pointing out the 32/64 LD_LIBRARY_PATH variants, and the elfdump trick to see if a search location was set. I got the semicolon idea from the ld man pages. (Perhaps I was wrongly assuming that it also had some effect on the run-time library path search order) Paraphrasing the man page: For ld processing, including a semicolon in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH causes the path(s) preceeding the semi to be searched first (before the -L paths). Without the semi, the entire LD_LIBRARY PATH is searched _after_ processing the -L options. Cheers, Steve -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
