btool relocation error

I get following error when trying to execute btool

root@usmaster: # btool Warning: program compiled against libxml 207 using older 206 ld.so.1: btool: fatal: relocation error: file /opt/splunk/bin/btool: symbol xsltInit: referenced symbol not found Killed

Library seems to be ok though:

root@usmaster: # ldd ./btool libthread.so.1 => /usr/lib/libthread.so.1 librt.so.1 => /usr/lib/librt.so.1 libpcre.so.0 => /opt/splunk/lib/libpcre.so.0 libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 libxslt.so.1 => /usr/lib/libxslt.so.1 libssl.so.0.9.8 => /opt/splunk/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /opt/splunk/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1 libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1 libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1 libarchive.so.2 => /opt/splunk/lib/libarchive.so.2 libbz2.so.1 => /usr/lib/libbz2.so.1 libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 libsqlite3.so.0 => /opt/splunk/lib/libsqlite3.so.0 libm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libm.so.1 libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1 libaio.so.1 => /usr/lib/libaio.so.1 libmd.so.1 => /usr/lib/libmd.so.1 libpthread.so.1 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1 libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2 libscf.so.1 => /usr/lib/libscf.so.1 libdoor.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdoor.so.1 libuutil.so.1 => /usr/lib/libuutil.so.1 libgen.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgen.so.1

Additional Stuff:

use splunk to call btool, the library will be the splunk ones, not the system ones.

by example, to check the list of the inputs

cd $SPLUNK_HOME/bin
./splunk cmd btool inputs list --debug
