Good Day everyone,
With reference to the email titled "[WIP Patch] go@1.4 go@1.5 go@1.6
compilers" dated "Wed 18 May 2016".
How/where should I add the following snippet for setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
in the gcc@4.9 package lib output?
(search-path-specification
(variable "LD_LIBRARY_PATH")
(files '("lib" "lib64")))
Also if anyone has any ideas for solving my other problem in the above
referenced email, I wouldn't mind some input.
Sincerely,
--

I’ve seen that email. Good job!

It should not be set at all. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a hack, which can be
used to temporarily trick a binary into loading a debug library. It is
no to be used in production.
Instead, we should make the “go” packages find the libraries they need
using the RUNPATH feature or similar. I haven’t looked at the drafts
for the “go” packages myself yet, but we encountered similar problems in
a couple of other packages; we fixed those by explicitly setting the
RUNPATH with linker flags or by patching the build system.
Without a closer look at the build system we won’t be able to suggest
how to solve the issue in this particular case, though.
