Hi Yongsheng:The current version of Overture does not use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH anymore. Instead it uses the "rpath" command on the load line. To get Overture programs like plotStuff
to find the Mesa libraries you will need to edit Overture/bin/Makefile.
I think if you add the rpath lines for Mesa:
$(OV_RPATH)$(MOTIF_LIB) -L$(MOTIF_LIB)
to the start of the FLIBS variable: (around line 167 of
Overture/bin/Makefile)
FLIBS= $(OV_RPATH)$(MOTIF_LIB) -L$(MOTIF_LIB)
$(OV_RPATH)$(Overture)/lib $(LDFLAGS)$(Overture)/lib $(LibOverture)
$(OV_COMPILER_LIBS) $(HDF_LIBS) $(AppLibraries) $(FORTRAN_LIBS)
then hopefully it will find your Mesa libraries before the system OpenGL libs. You will need to remove Overture/bin/plotStuff and type make. Then do 'ldd plotStuff' to see
if it worked. ...Bill Yongsheng Lian wrote:
Hi Bill,I also suspected that since Mesa under my local directory is not included. I checked the configure.option and did find the Mesa was there. I tried to put Mesa in front of /usr/local/lib64 in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the .bashrc file. But it did not help. Is there a way that I can force the make to link to the local Mesa library instead of the system one?YongshengOn Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 6:20 PM, Bill Henshaw <henshaw@xxxxxxxx <mailto:henshaw@xxxxxxxx>> wrote:Hi Yongsheng, I guess the reason that you are getting seg faults when you try to save a hardcopy is that you are accidently linking to the system versions of OpenGL instead of your Mesa version: libGL.so.1 => /usr/local/lib64/libGL.so.1 (0x00002b177a64e000) libGLU.so.1 => /usr/local/lib64/libGLU.so.1 (0x00002b177a9ff000) I guess that these are the system version of the libraries and not the Mesa version ??. When you change the hardcopy rendering to framebuffer then the hardcopy is taken from the hardware screen frame buffer (and thus is limited to the resolution of your screen) instead of rendering in memory. ...Bill Yongsheng Lian wrote:Bill, I soft of figure out a way to handle the problem. Using ldd the libraries used by plotStuff are the following. I compared with the libraries used by the old working version and they are the same. A student showed me a trick to make the new version plotStuff work. Under "hardcopy"-->"rendering" change offScreen to frameBuffer. Not sure why but the trick works.
