Monitoring Splunk

Library no loaded

The Mac distribution of splunk appears to have falsely referenced, absolute libraries.
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but was unable to find a link to report bugs, other than from within Splunk.

This happens to me with the following distributions (Mac 64bit, tar):

splunk-6.0-182037-darwin-64.tgz
splunk-6.0.1-189883-darwin-64.tgz (Current)

Starting Splunk:

$ bin/splunkd
dyld: Library not loaded: /Users/eserv/wrangler/build-home/6.0.1/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/marius/tmp/splunk/bin/splunkd
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

A lot of the libraries seem to have incorrect, absolute references:

$ otool -L bin/splunkd
bin/splunkd:
/Users/eserv/wrangler/build-home/6.0.1/lib/libpcre.1.dylib (compatibility version 4.0.0, current version 4.1.0)
/Users/eserv/wrangler/build-home/6.0.1/lib/libxml2.2.dylib (compatibility version 12.0.0, current version 12.1.0)
/Users/eserv/wrangler/build-home/6.0.1/lib/libxslt.1.dylib (compatibility version 3.0.0, current version 3.28.0)
/Users/eserv/wrangler/build-home/6.0.1/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
/Users/eserv/wrangler/build-home/6.0.1/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
/Users/eserv/wrangler/build-home/6.0.1/lib/libarchive.13.dylib (compatibility version 15.0.0, current version 15.2.0)
/Users/eserv/wrangler/build-home/6.0.1/lib/libbz2.1.dylib (compatibility version 2.0.0, current version 2.3.0)
/Users/eserv/wrangler/build-home/6.0.1/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.8)
/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 52.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 159.1.0)

I know I can fix this manually with install_name_tool but I am unsure if other binaries are affected as well.
Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this.

You shouldn't be running splunkd directly. You should be running the splunk binary, which in turn takes care of setting up the correct environment etc before launching various instances of splunk with various parameters.
