Re: [Condor-users] Application runs in standalone mode but not viacondor

[Tanzima Zerin Islam <tislam@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ian,
 Finally, I could run the application in condor! It turns out that this problem can be solved simply by
adding two libraries to the linking command: libstdc++.a and libgcc.a. 

Thanks a lot for your help.

When you run standalone is your environment different? Specifically are
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH set differently? It sounds like, remote, the
executable can't find shared libaries. That'd be the first place I'd
check: make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH are the same. If that doesn't
solve your problem the next thing to check would be that the shared
library versions on your standalone and remote machines are the same.
