[Van de Leur]

Dear all,

Using Ubuntu 11.04 I recently upgraded to OF 2.0.1.

I have created a custom library without problems. However, the following error message keeps appearing when I try to use this new library (libfvMotionSolversNew.so):

--> FOAM Warning :
From function dlLibraryTable:pen(const fileName&, const bool)
in file db/dynamicLibrary/dlLibraryTable/dlLibraryTable.C at line 96
could not load "libfvMotionSolversNew.so"

For some reason OF cannot find the library, although I did add the line libs ("libfvMotionSolversNew.so"); to the file controlDict.

The new library is placed in the folder $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN, copying it to $FOAM_LIBBIN does not solve the problem.

Does anyone have a suggestion to solve this?

Regards,

Kevin

This is normally how it should work afaik.

Probably the solution is simple, no typo somewhere? Compilation problems? Did you compile with "wmake libso"? Do you have such a problem with other libraries (I guess not)?

[Van de Leur]

Compiling using "wmake libso" works without problems.
Using the standard libraries provided with OF is also no problem.

The only thing is that OF cannot find the newly created library.

Maybe my 'options' file contains an error in the linking?
Please see below:

EXE_INC = \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/triSurface/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/dynamicMesh/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/postProcessing/functionObjects/forces/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/fvMotionSolver/lnInclude \

LIB_LIBS = \
-L$(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN) \
-ltriSurface \
-lmeshTools \
-ldynamicMesh \
-lfiniteVolume \
/*-lforces include in controlDict if needed */

[ata]

Hi
I think you must remove the "back slash"(\) from the last lines:
EXE_INC = \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/triSurface/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/dynamicMesh/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/postProcessing/functionObjects/forces/lnInclude \
-I$(LIB_SRC)/fvMotionSolver/lnInclude

LIB_LIBS = \
-L$(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN) \
-ltriSurface \
-lmeshTools \
-ldynamicMesh \
-lfiniteVolume

[Fransje]

If you add the options you specified in:

• The original "options" file of the library you based your code on
• AND in the "options" file of your use Make directory

it should work out of the box.
As a matter of fact, your library should then be usable even without adding the line:

libs("libfvMotionSolversNew.so");

in the controlDict file.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Francois.

[Fransje]

Of course, don't forget to recompile the original library once you changed the "options" file...

[marupio]

I've encountered linking problems trying to compile it in Ubuntu 11.10. See this thread: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post328779

It could be related, and it could be a compiler issue.

[Van de Leur]

Dear all,

Thanks for the replies.

I just found another message running OF 2.0.1, it says to disallow user-supplied system cal operations, see below:

(...)
nProcs : 1
sigFpe : Enabling floating point exception trapping (FOAM_SIGFPE).
fileModificationChecking : Monitoring run-time modified files using timeStampMaster
allowSystemOperations : Disallowing user-supplied system call operations

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

Create time
(...)

I guess OF doesn't allow me to access my new library?

Secondly, it seems that the new library does work when using OF 1.7.1. That is, there are no problems accessing the library and I can start debugging.

Although I'm a bit short on time (who isn't?) I'll get back on this.

Regards,

Kevin

[Fransje]

No, it shouldn't matter.

The

allowSystemOperations : Disallowing user-supplied system call operations

quote is output during my runs as well, but doesn't block the loading of my extra libraries.

Kind regards,

Francois.

[boger]

I ran into a problem loading a library in 2.0.x yesterday, and a colleague suggested this solution, which helped a lot. I added the following lines to OpenFOAM-2.0.x/src/OSspecific/POSIX/POSIX.C. In that file, around line 1138, you'll find this line:

void* handle = ::dlopen(lib.c_str(), RTLD_LAZY|RTLD_GLOBAL);

Just below that line, add the following:

// find error (if any)
    Info << "Checking for error" << endl;
    char *error = ::dlerror();

    if (error)
    {
        WarningIn("dlOpen(const fileName&)")
            << "dlopen error : " << error
            << endl;
    }

You'll then need to recompile by typing ./Allwmake in the POSIX directory, then I would suggest "rm $FOAM_LIBBIN/libOpenFOAM.so", then go to src/OpenFOAM and type "wmake libso".

With that, you should get more information on why the .so file wouldn't load. (In my case, I found that I forgot that I also needed to first load a second .so file.)

I've submitted this as a "feature request" to OpenCFD, so maybe future versions will give better feedback.

Hope it helps!

Dear All

I have also created my custom library without problems. However, I am also getting the following error message when I try to use this new library (libfvMotionSolversNew.so):

--> FOAM Warning :
From function dlLibraryTable:pen(const fileName&, const bool)
in file db/dynamicLibrary/dlLibraryTable/dlLibraryTable.C at line 96

Could you help me please?

[ata]

Hi
Did you add the library name to the controldict?

[wyldckat]

Greetings to all!

Mahdi, I got the private message you sent me. You should have also indicated the thread where you asked your question as well.

Either way, this isn't sufficient information:

Ata is right in asking about whether you added the library to "controlDict", but there is more information I believe is necessary for properly diagnosing the problem, namely:

• What steps did you take for creating the new library?
• How are you making the library load? Did you directly link or specify it in "controlDict"?
• What did you do to get that warning message?
• That message probably isn't alone, therefore it would be very useful to see the surrounding text to that message!

Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno and Ata

Thanks for your kind reply. I am working with OpenFOAM-2.0.x on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. to create my boundary condition I did that :

1- I have copied the turbulentTemperatureCoupledBaffleMixed boundary condition and renamed it to myturbulentTemperatureCoupledBaffleMixed
2-secondly I have done my changes
3- I complied it as a dynamic library with wmake libso.

then I have tested two things.
1-first I just added a libs ("mylibfinvoll.so"); to the controldict and start running and then I got the following message.

2- secondly instead of adding the libentry in controldict i add the library to Option file my solver which looks like:

EXE_INC = \
    -Iinclude \
    -Ifluid \
    -Isolid \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude \

    -I$(LIB_SRC)/turbulenceModels \

    -I$(LIB_SRC)/thermophysicalModels/specie/lnInclude \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/turbulenceModels/compressible/turbulenceModel/lnInclude

then I started running but I have got the following error:

Do you think that it it could be related to DL_LIBrary_PATH?
I have readed in some of the threads in forum.

[wyldckat]

In a nutshell:

• It should be "libmyfinvoll.so", not "mylibfinvoll.so".
• In your solver you don't have "-lmyfinvoll".

[mm.abdollahzadeh]

Dear Burno

Thanks for your kind reply

I have corrected the name. but it didn't solved. if i don't add in the solver I will receive the same message.
but if add it it will gives the follwing error:

Hi Mahdi,

I'm too tired right now to guess was going on wrong... well, I can guess that you removed the last "-L*" line and replaced it with the "-lmyfinvoll", when you should have added the last one.

Either way, here are a few tutorials on how to modify OpenFOAM code for personal modifications, for you to study and draw ideas from:

• http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...ure_to_icoFoam
• http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post372221 post #4

Dear Buruno

Thanks for your kind reply.... the first problem as you mwntioned was with the name of library.
and the second was that I didnt add the correct libralry when compiling my own library ...( but it was compiling correctly and without any waring or error!!!)...

When I add that library and changed the name, it works ...

Thanks for your help.
