ld-linux.so.2

When running your application, the shared libraries will be searched in wherever the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is pointing to.

However, sometimes when running applications that your receive with a specific library, you could use another way to indicate just that. ld-linux.so.2 is the Linux ELF program loader. It has a few options, but for our use, we need the --library-path option.

--list list all dependencies and how they are resolved
--verify verify that given object really is a dynamically linked
object we can handle
--library-path PATH use given PATH instead of content of the environment
variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
--inhibit-rpath LIST ignore RUNPATH and RPATH information in object names
in LIST

Example:
# /lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path my/shared/libs my_app
