Managing LIBPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables for LSF jobs on AIX5.3
Resolving The Problem
AIX 5.1 uses an environment variable LIBPATH when loading shared
libraries. AIX 5.3 uses LD_LIBRARY_PATH instead. For backward compatibility,
AIX5.3 still uses LIBPATH if it is defined.
LSF has a common
distribution for AIX 5.1 and 5.3 and always appends path to the LSF libraries
to the LIBPATH for running jobs.This causes problems for
the jobs on AIX 5.3, if these jobs rely on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH being
set and LIBPATH being not set. Since the LIBPATH set by the LSF does
not include the path set in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the job fails.
The
solution is to define LIBPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables to be
the same in a job submission environment.
For example, if the login shell is a C-shell, add the
following line to the .cshrc file after the definition of the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
setenv
LIBPATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
