Hi,

I am trying to build mender device agent on a Fedora or Alamlinux container… I have installed libzma and openssl-1.1.1k … but getting the bellow error, the libraries libpthread.so libdl.so and libc.so are present at /usr/lib64 directory. I did export LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH. I’m still getting the error.  
Appreciate your input.

Hi @pei.cei,

the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` does not affect the linking stage of a build process. The right place to start should be the `-ldflags` parameter, which can be passed to `go build`. [This stackoverflow post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74522713/what-are-possible-go-build-ldflags-options) might give you some ideas on how to proceed.

Greetz,
