    Hello

    Anyone here knows how to auto-export LD_LIBRARY_PATH on pc boot? Also why LD_LIBRARY_PATH suddenly disappear from my export list after a few hours?

    What shell are you using?
    For bash, the user startup script is ~/.bash_profile (or ~/.bashrc ).
    You can add there the export and it will be set when you log in.

    You also have to check /etc/passwd and make sure your user's default shell is bash.

    For other shells, just search the internet.

    Also why LD_LIBRARY_PATH suddenly disappear from my export list after a few hours?
    There must be some voodoo involved .
    Really, I think you run some application that just changes the variable. This shouldn't happen, it should append paths to the var not override it.

    If you want it system-wide, you can add a file containing the path to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ or modify /etc/ld.so.conf directly depending on your system. Then run ldconfig (as root) and you're done - you won't need LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

    You can open terminal and export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH just before running it as follows:

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    exec "./my_app"
