I'd like to call a executable which works fine on terminal if 
called within the bin directory otherwise it give missing issues. 
To archive the same on my D program, I did set the working dir 
but I get an error saying a .so file couldn't be found. What am I 
missing here?

     enum app = 
"/path/to/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-i386/wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf";
     enum html = "/path/to/my/htmlFile.htm";
     enum pdf = "/path/to/output/foo.pdf";
     // is this the correct working dir?
     enum workingDir = 
"/path/to/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-i386/wkhtmltox/bin";
     import std.process : execute, Config;
     auto conv = execute([app, html,pdf],
                         null,
                         Config.none,
                         size_t.max,
                         workingDir);
     writeln(conv);

Gives the error:

Tuple!(int, "status", string, "output")(127, 
"/path/to/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-i386/wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf" error

Maybe the terminal and your utility you run wkhtmltopdf from have 
different environment?

I guessed so, I've tried set the env as well:

     enum env = ["LD_LIBRARY_PATH" :
     "/path/to/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-i386/wkhtmltox/lib"];
	import std.process : execute, Config;
	auto conv = execute([app, html,pdf],
                         env,
						Config.newEnv,
						size_t.max,
						workingDir);
but that doesn't work either.

My assumption is, the issue is not related to D or the working 
dir. It is more a linux thing. Maybe you also try function 
executeShell. Also did you have a look e.g    here

Also did you try, just this command?
auto conv = execute([app, html,pdf]);

As you use absolute paths, the working directory is not relevant.

Kind regards

You're right, it's a linux issue. I did get rid of the binaries 
I've had and compile from the source code on my own, just passing 
the aditional LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to where the .so files were 
located, it worked fine!
