"/usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so: could not read symbols" when trying to install ORBit2

Hi all,

I am trying to install ORBit2 - however - it fails with this error messages. Im using Slackware 13 x86_64 with multilib.

Code:

/usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[3]: *** [test-linc] Fel 1

make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/ORBit2-2.14.17/linc2/test'

make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Fel 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/ORBit2-2.14.17/linc2'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Fel 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/ORBit2-2.14.17'

make: *** [all] Fel 2

I downloaded the package via www.slackbuild.org, changed the ARCH parameter to x86_64, even added the line:

Code:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" \

However same result, if anyone have any suggestions to what might be causing this i would be thankful.

Thanks in advance,

Olle

You shouldn't have had to change anything in the SlackBuild script. The only thing you should have had to do is

Code:

you@yourmachine: ARCH=x86_64 ./appname.SlackBuild

edit: I just ran through building ORBit2 from SBo and it worked fine.

Still the same result.

Can you post your /tmp/SBo/ORBit2-2.14.17config.log?

It looks like configure isn't finding one of the headers in the source tarball. Have you tried redownloading the source and unpacking it? There are a lot of errors in that log pertaining to that header file.

Can you show us the output of "file /usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0.1800.4"?

Code:

/usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0.1800.4: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped

Also tried re downloading it, still the same.

I'm seeing many differences between your config.log and mine. Most are something like:
-configure:14352: gcc -o conftest -O2 -fPIC conftest.c >&5
+configure:14352: gcc -o conftest -O2 -fPIC -L/usr/lib64 conftest.c >&5

so it looks like your "LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64" is being ignored.

But whether I define LDFLAGS or not, the build still doesn't fail.
Sorry, not much help.

Yeah, I did notice in the config.log some entries like this:

Code:

ORBIT_NAME_LIBS='-pthread -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/usr/lib -lgobject-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 '

Is your build trying to use your 32 bit stuff for some reason?

Yes it is:
ac_cv_env_LDFLAGS_set=
ac_cv_env_LDFLAGS_value=

ollebanan Your configure line should look just like this after you added the LDFLAGS part.

CFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \
CXXFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" \
./configure \

I tried that already, still the same result.

I renamed the /usr/lib directory as a temporary fix - which allowed the problem to be solved - but it's a ugly fix and nothing permanent, i will however keep digging into this.

EDIT: Thanks for the help so far, i really appreciate it!

Do you have anything set in your environment? Do

Code:

echo $CFLAGS

Nope that was empty.

Hi,

all that changes You made are good, but did You also have defined $LIBDIRSUFFIX variable before You call it in LDFLAGS?

Just add those lines into the script just after working directories definitions:

Code:

if [ "$ARCH" = "i486" ]; then

  SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -march=i486 -mtune=i686"

  SLKLDFLAGS=""                          

  LIBDIRSUFFIX=""                        

elif [ "$ARCH" = "s390" ]; then          

  SLKCFLAGS="-O2"                        

  SLKLDFLAGS=""                          

  LIBDIRSUFFIX=""                        

elif [ "$ARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then        

  SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC"                  

  SLKLDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64"              

  LIBDIRSUFFIX="64"                      

fi

;) and have fun :)

PS: oh, I forgot something - add new ./configure option:
--libdir=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}

;)
