Problem Running Application with Alias
VI am running Wheezy (v-7.8.0) in a VM and have encountered rather a
strange problem .with an application, MOPAC (a well established quantum
chemistry program).
The application is installed in /opt/mopac (required by the executable)
and, in order to execute the program the following is an entry in the
user .bashrc:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/mopac/MOPAC2012.exe:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
alias mopac='/opt/mopac/MOPAC2012.exe'
The permissions for /opt/mopac are: drwxrwxrwx
(I should note at this point that this works flawlessly in my production
machine.)
Now, for the problem, the alias or MOPAC2012.exe work only if evoked in
/opt/mopac!
If, I attempt running the alias in /home/comp (the user), for instance,
I get:
comp@inga:~$ mopac
/opt/mopac/MOPAC2012.exe: error while loading shared libraries:
libiomp5.so: can
not open shared object file: No such file or directory
Alternately, if I try to run with the ful path to the executabe I get:
comp@inga:~$ /opt/mopac/MOPAC2012.exe
/opt/mopac/MOPAC2012.exe: error while loading shared libraries:
libiomp5.so: can
not open shared object file: No such file or directory
The workaround is to copy the argument to /opt/mopac, run the executable
for the calculation, and then transfer the results to the working directory.
This is most inconvenient and I would really appreciate a solution to
the problem.
Thanks iin advance.
