Hi!
I have written a Writer-Plugin and after (at last) successfully
compiling and linking it within Paraview, I tried to load it with the
PluginManager,
and in the Paraview/build/bin directory I found my libVdcWriter.so,
but loading fails. I get the error message: "libVdcWriter.so: no such
file or directory"
But the file is in the build/bin - directory, the
plugin-manager-browser found it!
Does anyone know what could be the problem here? Is it possible that I
missed to link something, any library from paraview so that this
plugin can be loaded?
It sounds like the dynamic linker/loader , ld, isn't finding your
libVdcWriter.so library. first you can verify by running ldd on your
plugin and searching for "not found". like this:
ldd /path/to/libMyPlugin.so | grep "not found"
This will list the libraries that are not found. There are a number of
ways to remedy such an issue. The easiest (especially for debugging
purposes) is to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH on the command line to add locations
to ld's search path. You know where the missing library is located then
you can run paraview like this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/missing/lib/folder /path/to/paraview
or you can export this variable in your shell.
and by the way, a stupid question: linux .so - files are equivalent to
windows .dll-files, true? so while I´m loading my plugins as .dlls in
windows, with linux they have the ending .so, right?
thx a lot,
