So, I see following issue while launching eclipse on AIX, according to log file:

The problem is that, /opt/freeware/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.a ( library comes from GTK installation which is installed via rpm, built locally) is trying to load libXrender.a from /usr/lib location where it is not able to find the required .so file. However, I built gtk with LIBPATH as /opt/freeware/lib, so instead of loading /usr/lib/libXrender.a, actually it should load /opt/freeware/lib/libXrender.a which has required libXrender.so.1 library. Please see below for the dependency path:

command: dump -Hov -X32_64 /opt/freeware/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.a
Output:

***Import File Strings***
INDEX PATH BASE MEMBER
0 /opt/freeware/lib64:/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib:/lib
1 libc.a shr_64.o
2 libglib-2.0.a libglib-2.0.so.0
3 libgobject-2.0.a libgobject-2.0.so.0
4 libcairo.a libcairo.so.2
5 libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.a libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0
6 libintl.a libintl.so.8

8 libXext.a shr_64.o
9 libpango-1.0.a libpango-1.0.so.0
10 libgmodule-2.0.a libgmodule-2.0.so.0
11 libXrender.a libXrender.so.1
12 libfontconfig.a libfontconfig.so.1
13 libpangocairo-1.0.a libpangocairo-1.0.so.0
14 libgio-2.0.a libgio-2.0.so.0

Now, when I run GTK, it is running fine and behaving as expected. It is loading right file from right location.

Problem comes, when I am trying to launch eclipse. The same library, libgdk-x11-2.0.a, is trying to load libXrender.a from /usr/lib and it is failing.

This indicates that somehow ECLIPSE is overriding the LIBPATH environment variable. If I am right, Can someone tell me how to fix that. I want my eclipse to load all required library (to run eclipse) from /opt/freeware/lib location and if it is not in that location then it should go to /usr/lib or /lib (library location preferences to be set).
