I found another location for the libraries and added that to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and I was able to create the ISO file. I will now see if it will boot.

Still doesn't boot as the kernel isn't getting created and placed in the ISO. Any ideas?

pcahyna commented at 2023-07-31 16:24:¶

Can you please attach a log file?

gramps269 commented at 2023-07-31 20:10:¶

I uninstalled v2.6 and installed v2.7 and added an extra library path to my /etc/rear/local.conf file and the iso doubled in size. I haven't had a chance to boot the iso yet. I plan to run into the office tomorrow and see if it will boot up on a spare machine.
rear-exxact01.log
The log file contains some libraries that are "not found", which is true, as they do not exist on the server - so I don't understand why.
Hopefully the iso will boot and get me to a ReaR main menu.

Thanks for replying,
Bruce

I'm still unable to get the iso to boot, so I'm switching products.

Only as an addendum
because this issue is also about using LD_LIBRARY_PATH
