Problem compiling Ice 3.3.1 in Ubuntu 12.04

Gonzalo

Hi.

I need to compile Ice 3.3.1 in Ubuntu 12.04 and am running into linker problems with libdb_cxx.so.

I had to compile the db-4.6.21.NC you provide because ubuntu doesn't package libdb4.x++. I modified Make.rules so that DB_HOME points to where the library was installed, but I'm running into the following linker error:

The path in the -L option does contain the libdb_cxx.so file:

ls /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.6/lib/
libdb-4.6.a   libdb-4.so       libdb_cxx-4.6.la  libdb_cxx.a
libdb-4.6.la  libdb.a          libdb_cxx-4.6.so  libdb_cxx.so
libdb-4.6.so  libdb_cxx-4.6.a  libdb_cxx-4.so    libdb.so

Does anyone know what can be going on?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Gonzalo,

I have give a try to Ice-3.3.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 and not found any problems with berkeley DB and Freeze.

Looking for the missing undefined symbols they doesn't appear to be part of db-4.6

$ grep get_dup_compare /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdb*
Binary file /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdb-5.1.a matches
Binary file /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdb.a matches

jose@sirius:~/zeroc/Ice-3.3.1/cpp/src/FreezeScript$ grep get_dup_compare /opt/db-4.6.21/* -R

As you can see from above command there isn't any matches in db-4.6.21, seems to me that there are several version of DB causing some conflict.

You can check the DB version linked with Freeze with ldd command

Ice-3.3.1/cpp/src/Freeze$ ldd ../../lib/libFreeze.so
	libIce.so.33 => not found
	libIceUtil.so.33 => not found
	libdb_cxx-4.6.so => not found
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0xb75b7000)
	libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb74d2000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb74b4000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xb730b000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7705000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0xb72de000)

I wondering why in your link command the Makefile try to link with libraries in "lib" sub directory, when for 64 bits builds should be picking libraries for lib64 instead.

If you have made changes to the Makefiles i suggest you to start with a new vanilla distribution, here is how i have build it.

tar zxvf Ice-3.3.1.tar.gz 
tar zxvf ThirdParty-Sources-3.3.1.tar.gz 
tar zxvf db-4.6.21.NC.tar.gz 
cd db-4.6.21.NC/
patch -p0 ../db/patch.4.6.21.1
patch -p0 < ../db/patch.4.6.21.1
patch -p0 < ../db/patch.4.6.21.2
patch -p0 < ../db/patch.4.6.21.3
patch -p0 < ../db/patch.4.6.21.15663 
cd build_unix/
../dist/configure --prefix=/opt/db-4.6.21 --enable-cxx
make -j4
sudo make install
cd /opt/db-4.6.21/
sudo ln -s lib lib64
export DB_HOME=/opt/db-4.6.21
cd Ice-3.3.1/
cd cpp/src/
make -j4

Cheers,

Hi Jose

Thans for your quick response. As you said, the conflict was with some files from libdb5.1 which I had not removed correctly. Now everything's working just fine.

Thanks for your help.

Best,
Gonzalo
