undefined reference to TIFFOPEN

noob_dev · 01-27-2014, 07:30 PM

I am trying to compile an open source program called quantim4 (http://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=16562) on Ubuntu 13.10 (64x) machine.
This program requires TIFF library. I believe I have TIFF library installed, because I found following library files in my computer. I need help to properly link libtiff files so that I can successfully compile this program quantim4.

/usr/lib/evince/4/backends/libtiffdocument.so
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5.1.0
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiffxx.so.0.0.10
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.4.3.6
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5.1.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.la
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiffxx.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiffxx.so.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiffxx.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiffxx.la
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.4
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.a
/usr/share/man/man3/libtiff.3tiff.gz
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libtiff4

also, I created link(ln -s) to tiff files in my local bin folder

$ls /usr/local/lib/
libPSgraf3.a libtiff.a python2.7 site_ruby tiffio.h
libQuantim4.a libtiff.so.5 python3.3 tiff.h

$PATH
bash: /usr/local/lib:/usr/local/cuda-5.5/bin:/usr/local/cuda-5.5/bin:/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_45/bin: No such file or directory

when I try to compile a demo example of this program, I am getting following errors related to LIBTIFF

$g++ -g demo.c -lm -ltiff -lQuantim4 -lPSgraf3

i think that -ltiff search in /usr/lib only; instead of using -ltiff, use the full library path

John VV · 01-27-2014, 08:44 PM

you NEED to have the -dev.deb's installed for tiff

you are missing the tiff *.h files in /usr/include
also for LARGE image support on 64 bit systems it needs to be "bigtiff"

noob_dev · 01-28-2014, 04:04 PM

Thanks for your suggestions, I implemented those but still I am getting same errors. more ideas?

$ ls /usr/include/ti*.h
/usr/include/tiff.h /usr/include/tiffio.h /usr/include/time.h

$ ls /usr/lib/libti*
/usr/lib/libtidy-0.99.so.0 /usr/lib/libtiff.a

mmm, in your libraries listing there is no libtiff.so, just the static version; can you please post ouput of "ls -l /usr/lib64/libtif*"? in the first post i see that libtiff.so is present in both 32 and 64 bit version, in a path which a linker don't use

noob_dev · 01-28-2014, 07:30 PM

This is a 64-bit machine. Therefore, there is lib32 and lib folders; there is no lib64.
I think lib is for lib64

$ls /usr/lib
lib/ lib32/

looking at the unzipped "54915_quantim.zip"
54915_quantim/quantim/quantim_develop/install.sh

that and the already built tons of *.o files

that shell script ONLY runs "make" on the already built *.o files
nothing is being BUILT
it is only trying to use the versions that someone else built on DIFFERENT HARDWARE and different software

so
you need to clean out those old *.o files that should NEVER have been redistributed in that zip
you need to clean the code

Code:

cd 54915_quantim/quantim/quantim_develop/PSgraf3/source/
make clean 

cd ../../source
make clean 
cd ../

sh ./install.sh
cd demo

then rebuild that demo

noob_dev · 01-29-2014, 10:29 PM

did it work for you after making a fresh install ?because I also did "make clean" followed by fresh installaton and I am still seeing same error.
I am installing on Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit.
I looked into synaptic manager and it has both libtiff4 and libtiff5 installed.
but I have only libtiff5-dev installed and libtiff4-dev is not installed.

I wonder if both libtiff4 and libtiff5 packages are causing some incompatibility.

"makefile" projects
i hate them
I also hate programs that use "install.sh"( or the like) files to run "make and make install using sudo
( personal preferences , others like them -- i do not )

well one of the reasons i am not having a problem is i DO HAVE gcc 4.3 already installed ( along with 4.1 and 4.7 )

reading the Makefile in
54915_quantim/quantim/quantim_develop/PSgraf3/source/
it redefines CC as gcc4.3

Code:

CC = g++-4.3
SOURCES =Arrows.cpp\
	CBlock.cpp\
--- and so on ..........................

if you do not have that version already installed - you will have problems

and i am betting you do not have the older 4.3 installed on ubuntu 13 , it is likely gcc 4.8

the good news is 4.3 can be installed SIDE BY SIDE with 4.8

bad news i do not use ubuntu 13

so search this site for installing a second version of gcc

this program "54915_quantim" might be a bit TOO OLD for the current gcc 4.8 to build without hacking the program and bring it UP to the NEW c++11 specs

so ignore that "install.sh" it is only hiding any errors

in the "PSgraf3/source/" folder rerun the clean

Code:

make clean 
rm *.a 
----- that is just in case the makefile dose not do what it is supposed to do -----
make 
sudo make install

then repeat in the quantim_develop/source/ folder

then

for the demo you might want to use THIS instead
the command you posted makes a very unuseful "a.out"

Code:

 g++ -g -o demo demo.c -lm -ltiff -lQuantim4 -lPSgraf3

this makes a program called "demo"

noob_dev · 02-03-2014, 10:15 PM

I could not install gcc-4.3 in Ubuntu 13.10 64x using sudo. i still think that problem is because libtiff libraries are not properly linked to the quantim program during compile. I think that missing gcc4.3 is not the problem because both PSgraf3 and quantim compile successfully.

$sudo apt-get install gcc-4.3 gcc-4.4 g++-4.3 g++-4.4
