llvm dev - Jun 2010 - [LLVMdev] libLLVMgold.so: could not load plugin library

Hi there,

I checked out the latest code from the repository, and wanna use the 
gold plugin, but I got the following:

libLLVMgold.so: could not load plugin library

Do you know why this is happening?

Also I noticed the name of the library is changed to LLVMgold.so, and I 
just renamed it to libLLVMgold.so when I copied it. Is this the right 
thing to do?

Thanks,
Guoliang

The library is now named LLVMgold.so, I probably forgot to update some
documentation, didn't I :-(

Copying it should cause no problems. just make sure libLTO.so is in a
place it can find. What happens if you run ldd on LLVMgold.so?

So when I copy it to $PREFIX/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.2.1/ 
and $PREFIX/lib/bfd-plugins/, should I rename it to libLLVMgold.so? Any 
other copies I should make?
