Can't read shared library

[DarkDragon]

Sounds silly, but try to set FULL (absolute) path to the lib, like: "/usr/lib/libastro.so".

I had same problem with a lib a few days ago. And not every.

I know, it's dirty but it might work. I've already got some problems with the LD_PATH variable unter PB-Linux, but don't know why.

Here it doesn't even work with the full path. Just try yourself: compile a lib with

pbcompiler yourfile.pb -so test.dll

@Cpl.Bator:

I will try it out, but I'm wondering why it works with other libs and not with the lib coded in PureBasic.

Do you have a code for test here ?

i also tried to understand why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Two examples (4.10B1) :

file DLL.pb

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL.l addition(a.l, b.l)
  ProcedureReturn a + b
EndProcedure

file testDLL.pb

Code: Select all

If OpenLibrary(0, "./DLL.so")
  result = CallFunction(0, "addition",5,3)
  Debug result
  CloseLibrary(0)
Else
  MessageRequester("ERROR","Cannot open DLL.so")
  End
EndIf

it works, after that i added a second procedure :

Code: Select all

ProcedureDLL.l addition(a.l, b.l)
  ProcedureReturn a + b
EndProcedure

ProcedureDLL.l error(texte.s)
  ProcedureReturn MessageRequester("Error",texte)
EndProcedure

this time it doesn't work because of the messagerequester

using "./astrolib.so" works. I just don't get now why I didn't need that for libxine.so that is in the same directory, unless it isn't loading that copy....

Thanks,

check which libs are locted in
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib

usually without a path libs are preferred opened from there - so copying the .so s there or adding your applications /lib path to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH assign.
