Indeed, the handling of executables and shared libs is inconsistent. The current behaviour makes some sense since it matches the runtime linker's search algorithm, but it is not really intuitive for a command-line program. Our behaviour is also incompatible with Linux's. The main question would be whether changing this breaks anything. It might be reasonable to try searching the current directory before falling back to the rtld search path. That would give more consistent behaviour and be less likely to break anything. |
ldd(1) should show the dependencies of the program in current directory; however when a shared object file is given, and its file name is same with another shared object under library path (such as /usr/local/lib /usr/lib /lib), ldd(1) will showing dependencies for the shared object under library path.
