How to get details on "Unable to load interface library" in using clib.

We're building interface modules for a C++ library with clibgen - in different linux setups (server, local PC, cloud). We have a build that works, but not on all setups - and we use Matlab2021a. The error message on computer is:

Unable to load interface library:

'/home/de11/sim_interfaces/matlab_to_cpp/cpp_lib/WI_MatlabInterface/WI_MatlabInterfaceInterface.so'.

Reason: The specified module could not be found.

Ensure the C++ dependent libraries for the interface library are added to

run-time path.

is telling me something, but not the full picture. As far as i can see all C++ dependent libraries are on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and calling ldd on the command line tells me all dependencies can be resolved.

But how can i check the same within the matlab session?

I am facing the same issue, were you able to resolve this?

Partial solution:

one can call ldd via system - within the matlab enviroment.

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH 'path/to/lib'

Can modify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and you can get system('ldd libname.so') to work. But this does not solve the original problem
