Hi Foamers,

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

--> 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:

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,

Nevermind, got it

I'm getting a similar error, would you mind sharing your solution?
