sgx application runtime error for can not find .so lib

[Kirin_Young]

I had successfully build a sgx application which called "test" and its gcc code is "gcc test.cpp -L. -lmyso". The libmyso.so(-lmyso) was created by makefile and I counld find it in current directory. But when I used "./test" to run the application, it faild with the error "can not open/find the shared library libmyso.so". So stranger！ What should I do to run the app?

My platform is Ubuntu16.04, SGX SDK and PSW are installed sucessfully. But I am not sure intel ME is installed in my computer, is it related to this?

You may need to add your current app path to the library path.  For example, to do this temporarily while running your app (notice the . at the end to indicate current directory):

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:. ./test

There is a good article about this: https://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/shared-libraries-linux-gcc.html

In short: use either $LD_LIBRARY_PATH or rpath. Both solutions have upsides and downsides, as explained in linked article.
