-Bstatic_pgi not working as advertised

We are using a network system install of PGI-9.0-3 on Linux.

We are building a fortran executable with -Bstatic_pgi.

On running ldd on this executable when the LD_LIBRARY_PATH has

/network-dir/pgi-903/9.0-3/share_objects/lib64

% ldd test.exe

librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x000000356da00000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x000000356c600000)
libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x000000356be00000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x000000356ba00000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000000356b600000)

On removing /network-dir/pgi-903/9.0-3/share_objects/lib64 from LD_LIBRARY_PATH

% ldd test.exe

librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x000000356da00000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x000000356c600000)
libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x000000356be00000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x000000356ba00000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000000356b600000)
libpgf90.so => not found
libpgf90_rpm1.so => not found
libpgf902.so => not found
libpgf90rtl.so => not found
libpgftnrtl.so => not found
libpgc.so => not found

This is very strange behavior that we are seeing with -Bstatic_pgi.

Any explanation as to what is happening here would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Waris,

This is odd behavior and not one that I’ve seen before. Can you please walk me though the steps you did to build “test.exe”? Also, please post the verbose output (add -v) of your link line. Is “test.exe” a stand alone program or do you link in external libraries that could have built dynamically?
