Hello,

I have a problem with kdevelop and shared libraries (and I have read other postings). I have Ubuntu-6.01 with kdevelop 3.3.2.

I am trying to integrate Geant4.8.1 in an IDE so I can debug. I have a working version of kdevelop3. Using a C++ simple hello world template I am attempting to add required '.so' libraries.

I have followed the official kdevelop3 FAQ and have spent many hours on-line for the answer, but no joy. I added the libraries to my makefile.am by hand i.e.for libdummie.so I added -ldummie to LD_FLAGS.

Anyways, this appears when executing in Kdevelop (in debug mode):

./test: error while loading shared libraries: libG4bosons.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Even though I have added LD_LIBRARY_PATH to my Project->Project Options-> Configure Options with the appropriate path to the libraries. If I export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to a bash shell and run my kdevelopProject-test/src/debug/test executable i get something else:

Hello, world!
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0804e0d8 ***
Aborted

As you can see it almost works but it appears that there could be a problem with Kdevelop. Have I missed something? How do I fix it?

Please help!

Thank you.

you shouldnt have to edit the make files by hand. you either can add the libs through the project options in the configure panel (or is it the make panel?) or you can add them in the automake manager.

that runtime linking error does not sound like a problem with kdevelop. try to export the LD_LIB*_PATH in a seperate console window and try to run the executable and see what happens.

I needed to add over a hundred shared libraries. I used

ls s >libs.list

and removed the extensions lib and .so and copied it to the relevant place in the makefile.am. There was no problem with this...

I added the path and got a "hello world!" message in a *seperate* shell and I agree that the error probably doesn't lie with kdevelop. I am not running geant4 with the recommended compilers so I guess it serves me right. I could use gcc-4.1.1 (a verified configuration) but ubuntu supplies version gcc-4.0.3...I cant seem to find a repository version. Is it risky to build a new gcc for kdevelop???

Thanks for any help.
