bitbake corecdp-base-image fail: guile-native_1.8.7.bb

[David Good]

I downloaded the latest tarball (2.2.2) and am trying to get the base image to compile. It fails on guile-native-1.8.7-r1.

I tried to fix it by applying the latest 4 patches from http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded/log/?qt=grep&q=guile which seem to bring the guile bb recipes up to date. This had no effect that I could discern.

My dev machine is Debian Squeeze in a VM under Virtualbox.

The exact output is:

/home/engin/dev/multitech/corecdp-2.2.2/build/tmp/work/i686-linux/guile-native-1.8.7-r1/guile-1.8.7/libguile/.libs/lt-guile: error while loading shared libraries: libguile.so.17: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I manually checked and libguile.so.17 is there as a symlink to libguile.so.17.3.1 in the following directory:

/home/engin/dev/multitech/corecdp-2.2.2/build/tmp/work/i686-linux/guile-native-1.8.7-r1/guile-1.8.7/libguile/.libs/

Any ideas or patches coming?

Thanks!

I managed to get it to finish compiling by copying a symlink to a temporary shared lib by doing this:

cp /home/engin/dev/multitech/corecdp-2.2.2/build/tmp/work/i686-linux/guile-native-1.8.7-r1/guile-1.8.7/libguile/.libs/libguile.so.17 home/engin/dev/multitech/corecdp-2.2.2/build/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/lib/

Doing a ldd on the complaining program revealed the problem:

lt-guile couldn’t find libguile.so.17 when it needed it before it was installed in the tree. I was afraid to start messing with ldconfig for fear of doing something really wrong, so I symlinked the library as above.

I have no idea how to fix it or patch it permanently, but hopefully this helps someone else get over this situation.

Hi David,

What version of your Debian ? If you are not at 6.0, then pls try this version. This version tested here and known to work.

Regards,

BT

Hi Bryan,

I’m using Debian Squeeze (6.0).

This is not really a Openembedded issue per se, but one with guile 1.8.7. I found this on the Fedora mailing list, and similar things on Suse.

http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2009-November/msg01533.html

It is a CoreCDP issue in that guile 1.8.7 will not always compile on a fresh system.

I’d be interested to know if you run into any issues on a fresh Debian 6.0 install following the instructions on the website vs one which has built guile before.

David,
I believe the problem is that your machine doesn’t have guile-1.8 installed. The lt-guile application is looking for libguil.so.17 in your /usr/lib/ directory or in your build tree (your-corecdp-dir/build/tmp/sysroots/your-native-platform/…) and can’t find it in either location. If this is the case, installing guile-1.8 should resolve the issue. You can install guile-1.8 with the command:

sudo apt-get install guile-1.8

I spun up a Debian 6.0.8 VM and built CoreCDP with no issues, but that machine had guile-1.8 installed by default. When testing on Debian 7, I ran into the same issue you’ve seen and discovered it was because the machine had a newer version of guile (2.0) installed by default and the shared object files were named differently. After I installed guile-1.8, the build completed successfully.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Cheers,
Mike

Also, I’ll make sure to get giule-1.8 added to our list of dependencies for CoreCDP so that this issue can be avoided in the future!
