* all binaries under <code>/cvmfs/soft.computecanada.ca</code> use what is called a RUNPATH, which means that the directories for the runtime libraries that these binaries depend on are put inside the binary. That means it is generally *not* necessary to use <code>$LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code>. In fact, <code>$LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> overrides this runpath and you should '''not''' set that environment variable to locations such as <code>/usr/lib64</code> or <code>$EBROOTNIXPKGS/lib</code>. Many binaries will no longer work if you attempt this. | * all binaries under <code>/cvmfs/soft.computecanada.ca</code> use what is called a RUNPATH, which means that the directories for the runtime libraries that these binaries depend on are put inside the binary.

* if you install precompiled binaries in your home directory (for example [https://conda.io/miniconda.html Miniconda]) they may fail using errors such as <code>/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18' not found</code>. Often such binaries can be patched using our <code>setrpaths.sh</code> script, using the syntax <code>setrpaths.sh | * if you install precompiled binaries in your home directory (for example [https://conda.io/miniconda.html Miniconda]) they may fail using errors such as <code>/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18' not found</code>.

This script will make sure that the binaries use the correct interpreter, and search for the libraries they are dynamically linked to in the correct folder. The option <code>--add_origin</code> will also add $ORIGIN to the RUNPATH. This is sometimes helpful if the library cannot find other libraries in the same folder as itself. | ||

* if all else fails you can use <code>module --force purge</code> to remove the CVMFS environment. You are then left with a bare-bones CentOS-7 installation without modules. This may help for special situations such as compiling GCC yourself or using custom toolchains such as the [http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~townsend/static.php?ref=mesasdk MESA SDK]. Purging modules would then '''only''' be necessary when you compile such software; the modules can be reloaded when running it. | * if all else fails you can use <code>module --force purge</code> to remove the CVMFS environment.
