The dynamic linker provides an option --list and I think its behaviour is inconsistent. My argument would run along these lines. On my system I can generate the same information in three different ways: [root@pauli /root]# ldd /usr/bin/telnet libncurses.so.4 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.4 (0x4001e000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40066000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) [root@pauli /root]# LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS=1 /usr/bin/telnet libncurses.so.4 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.4 (0x4001e000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40066000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) [root@pauli /root]# /lib/ld-linux.so.2 --list /usr/bin/telnet libncurses.so.4 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.4 (0x40006000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4004e000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000) If I move libncurses.so.4: [root@pauli /root]# ldd /usr/bin/telnet libncurses.so.4 => not found libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001e000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) [root@pauli /root]# LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS=1 /usr/bin/telnet libncurses.so.4 => not found libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001e000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) [root@pauli /root]# /lib/ld-linux.so.2 --list /usr/bin/telnet /usr/bin/telnet: error in loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory These commands can all be used to get the same information. I find it inconsistent that --list behave differently than the first two commands when it can't find the library? What useful purpose can it serve?
