Questions tagged [ldd]

ldd is a unix command-line tool to print shared library dependencies for an executable or shared library.

If a program is dynamically linked, i.e. uses shared libraries, the program requires some number of external libraries in order to run. ldd is a tool to list the required libraries and shows if those libraries can be found in the current configuration.

Questions about using and understanding ldd output should use this tag.

From a unix command-line running

man ldd

will provide more information.

Hierarchical ldd(1)

Due to using Gentoo, it often happens that after an update programs are linked against old versions of libraries. Normally, revdep-rebuild helps resolving that, but this time it's a dependency on a python library, and python-updater won't pick it…
