Do not stage libraries during install, instead append their parent to LD...

..._LIBRARY_PATH.

The current approach does not work anyway if used with certain external libraries, e.g. libjvm.

Thanks for the pull request. Unfortunately this change will break a lot of our tests, and cannot be applied as-is. It also is a bit too simplistic a solution to this problem.

One issue with adding all parent directories to LD_LIBRARY_PATH is that this means every sibling library of a referenced library is also made available.

I'm going to close this pull request. Please open a discussion on the Gradle developers list if you want to help with a more complete solution to this issue.

Thanks for having a look . I agree that this is too simple and I had been thinking about the alternatives. Will take this to the dev list.
