Asp Forum - Problems Using rb-gsl

I'm trying to use rb-gsl in an application I'm writing and am able to
use it on Mac OS X but not Linux. On an old Red Hat 7.3 box I see the
following error messages when compiling use, 'ruby setup.rb setup':

gcc -fPIC -I../include -Wall -I/usr/local/include -I.
-I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux
-I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux
-I/home/mark/versioned/praxis/sbcalc/third_party/rb-gsl-1.6.0/ext -c
wavelet.c
cc1: warning: changing search order for system directory
"/usr/local/include"
cc1: warning: as it has already been specified as a non-system directory

It says this for all files being compiled. When I try to run any of the
sample applications included with rb-gsl I see the message:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/rb_gsl.so: libgsl.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory -
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/rb_gsl.so (LoadError)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/gsl.rb:1
from cheb.rb:2:in `require'
from cheb.rb:2

This same procedure works just find on my Mac. I've run ldconfig to
make sure all my GSL libraries are found, and I run 'make test' after
installing GSL. All tests passed.

Does anyone out there have a suggestion for what to do?

Thanks!

Hi Mark,

I've never found the problems in my test,
on MacOS X and Redhat 9.0. Please check the
followings and try again.

* The shared object
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/rb_gsl.so
is copired correctly? Check with ext/rb_gsl.so, or copy
it by-hand.
* Add an entry "/usr/local/lib" in /etc/ld.so.conf.

Sorry for inconvenience.

Yoshiki:

Thank-you for your help I really appreciate it! I did the things you
suggested in your last email.

1) rb_gsl.so seems correct

[mark@www rb-gsl-1.6.0]$ ls -la /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/

total 1556

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 10 15:40 .

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 10 15:19 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 143 Jan 10 15:18 narray_config.h

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4823 Jan 4 2004 narray.h

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 343577 Jan 10 15:19 narray.so

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1218609 Jan 10 15:40 rb_gsl.so

[mark@www rb-gsl-1.6.0]$ md5sum ext/rb_gsl.so

7e8fb48ce8c6c12e76b05fe2c46e0b20 ext/rb_gsl.so

[mark@www rb-gsl-1.6.0]$ md5sum /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/rb_gsl.so

7e8fb48ce8c6c12e76b05fe2c46e0b20 /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/rb_gsl.so

2) Added /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf

This directory was missing from the list in ld.so.conf but I added it.
The file now looks like this:

[mark@www rb-gsl-1.6.0]$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf

/usr/kerberos/lib

/usr/X11R6/lib

/usr/lib/qt-3.0.5/lib

/usr/lib/mysql

/usr/local/lib

After doing both these things, I tried running a setup.rb clean, then
ran though the build intructions again with the same outcome. Is there
any other information I can provide that might be helpful?

Thanks! :-)

Hmm, the message says the system could not find libgsl.so.0.
Where is the shared library? Is it in search path, or has it be
built?

Yoshiki:

The libgsl.so.0 is in /usr/local/lib which I'm assuming is in my search
path. Is there a way I can check this? I'm not sure which search path
I need to look at.

Here are the details of libgsl:

[mark@www cheb]$ locate libgsl.so.0

/usr/local/lib/libgsl.so.0

[mark@www cheb]$ ls -la /usr/lo

local lost+found

[mark@www cheb]$ ls -la /usr/local/lib/ | grep libgsl.so

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jan 10 15:16 libgsl.so -> libgsl.so.0.7.0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jan 10 15:16 libgsl.so.0 -> libgsl.so.0.7.0

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6248793 Jan 10 15:16 libgsl.so.0.7.0

Mark,

* I guess you use GCC 3.1: it warns "changing search order
for system directory" when an option -I/usr/local/include
is given. If you use newer(older) GCC, the warning won't
appear.
* The message you showed says, the shared object rb_gsl.so
is not found in your system, but it is installed in
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/.
As you shown, narray.so is also installed in the same
place, and how about is it (or other Ruby wrappers of C
libraries)? Is it possible to run scripts using NArray?
I'm not sure the problem is of rb-gsl or of the system.

Hi Yoshiki:

Just to update you and the rest of the list, I was able to get this
problem sorted out with a lot of help from Ara Howard.

Here's what I had to do to fix this problem...

1) Edit /etc/ld.so/conf

Red Hat boxes don't seem to include /usr/local/lib in their search path
so I added it along with my Ruby lib folder. My /etc/ld.so.conf now
looks like:

/usr/kerberos/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/qt-3.0.5/lib
/usr/lib/mysql
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux

2) Run ldconfig

I ran ldconfig as root to update the ld.so search path

3) Rebuild rb-gsl

Followed the directions to recompile and install rb-gsl

4) Ran rb-gsl examples

When I ran the examples again they now worked with no problems. :-)

Hope this helps anyone else out there with the same problems! Thanks
for all the assistance.

-Mark
