FFI is not finding libraries on Ubuntu 11.04

 
In the 4.4.7 interpreter unix vm, under ubuntu 11.04, I try to run
OpenGL like so:

OpenGL example

It gives an ffi error (Unable to find function address), and strace
reveals the following activity:

access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/lib/i386-linux-gnu/GL", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/GL", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
open("/lib/GL", O_RDONLY)               = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/sse2/GL", O_RDONLY)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/GL", O_RDONLY)           = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

The library is actually at /usr/lib/mesa/libGL.so.1. I have no idea
why ffi is apparently looking for a file named GL rather than
libGL.so*

A simpler test is perhaps

X11Display new

which is included as an example in the FFI Unix Examples package, and
calls the external function

X11Display class >> XOpenDisplay: displayName
        "X11Display XOpenDisplay: nil"
        <cdecl: X11Display* 'XOpenDisplay' (char*) module:'X11'>
        ^self externalCallFailed

It also results in a series of calls to bogus files:

access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/lib/i386-linux-gnu/X11", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/X11", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
open("/lib/X11", O_RDONLY)              = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/sse2/X11", O_RDONLY)     = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/X11", O_RDONLY)          = 8

The library is actually at /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 , which
is at least in whatever search path FFI seems to be using. It may have
found the library had it been looking for the correct filename

My ld config files are as follows:

=== /etc/ld.so.conf ===
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

=== /etc/ld.so.conf.d/GL.conf (symlink to /etc/alternatives/gl_conf) ===
/usr/lib/mesa

=== /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i686-linux-gnu.conf ===
# Multiarch support
/lib/i386-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
/lib/i686-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/i686-linux-gnu

=== /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libasound2.conf ===
/usr/lib/alsa-lib

=== /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf ===
# libc default configuration
/usr/local/lib

There is no such file /etc/ld.so.nohwcap

I know this was working in ubuntu 10.04, but I erased that system and
reinstalled ubuntu 11.04, so I can't give a working strace example.
For now, I worked around the issue by making a symlink from
/usr/lib/GL to /usr/lib/mesa/libGL.so.6. This allowed me to run Cobalt

For comparison, the same commands give the following strace on cog vm 2378:

cog is looking in way more places than the interpreter VM, but still
doesn't seem to be using ld properly. it misses /usr/lib/mesa, and is
looking for lib*.so files rather than lib*.so.x files

Also, as a side note, the text of the error seems to be different on
interpreter (Unable to find function address) vs cog (External module
not found)

Apparently a solution to that is to deal with library search at
language side and stop relying on
too clever FFI/VM library lookup mechanism, hardcoded in C, because it
will never satisfy all possible combinations
on all possible platforms.
