CFD Online Discussion Forums - Cannot find systemCall

Hi Foamers,

(OpenFOAM v6) I want to include the function systemCall in my controlDict file. However, OF produces the following complaint:

Code:

--> FOAM Warning : 

    

        From function void* Foam::dlOpen(const Foam::fileName&, bool)

    

        in file POSIX.C at line 1234

    dlopen error : libsystemCall.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory



--> FOAM Warning : 

    

        From function bool Foam::dlLibraryTable::open(const Foam::fileName&, bool)

    

        in file db/dynamicLibrary/dlLibraryTable/dlLibraryTable.C at line 105

    

        could not load "libsystemCall.so"



--> FOAM Warning : 

    

        From function bool Foam::dlLibraryTable::open(const Foam::dictionary&, const Foam::word&, const TablePtr&) [with TablePtr = Foam::HashTable<Foam::autoPtr<Foam::functionObject> (*)(const Foam::word&, const Foam::Time&, const Foam::dictionary&), 

        Foam::word, Foam::string::hash>*]

    in file lnInclude/dlLibraryTableTemplates.C at line 62

    

        Could not open library "libsystemCall.so"







--> FOAM Warning : 

    

        From function bool Foam::functionObjectList::read()

    in file db/functionObjects/functionObjectList/functionObjectList.C at line 746

    

        Caught FatalError 



--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: 

      Unknown function type systemCall







Valid functions are : 





7



(

initSwakFunctionObject



patchProbes



probes



psiReactionThermoMoleFractions



rhoReactionThermoMoleFractions

sets

surfaces



)

Now, I am aware that using these kind of functions may require a library added explicitly to the solver, so I included the following lines in the Make/options file:

Code:

EXE_INC = \

   -I$(LIB_SRC)/functionObjects/utilities/lnInclude \



EXE_LIBS = \

   -lsystemCall \

But on compiling, Make informs me that it is unable to find lsystemCall. Does anyone have an idea on what is causing this?

Thank in advance,
