Related to #2676?

[mikebryant]

Added a minimal reproduction using the image, and an example here: https://github.com/opentracing-contrib/nginx-opentracing/tree/master/example/trivial/ubuntu-x86_64

[mikebryant]

Following https://github.com/opentracing-contrib/nginx-opentracing/tree/master/example/trivial/ubuntu-x86_64 more closely, and downloading the binary releases explicitly (wget -O libjaegertracing_plugin.so https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger-client-cpp/releases/download/v0.4.1/libjaegertracing_plugin.linux_amd64.so) fixes the issue...

[mikebryant]

Looks like the built version of /usr/local/lib/libjaegertracing.so in the ingress-nginx docker image is the problem

[aledbf]

@mikebryant apologies for this issue. This weekend I will take a look at the generated library in the nginx image

[mikebryant]

FYI I'm currently working on a fix, I'll hopefully have a PR for this tomorrow. I believe the issue is we need the plugin version of jaeger instead of the shared library, which is a different build option. I'm just waiting for it to build and I can test it later tonight

[mikebryant]

@aledbf see #2744

[aledbf]

Closing. Fixed in #2744
