Hi Ian, Congrats on the 0.9 RC1 release.
Good news : the MOP error is gone with elephant 0.9 Now I can successfully do all these: (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :elephant) (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :ele-bdb) (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :elephant-tests) (in-package :ele-tests) (setf *default-spec* *testbdb-spec*) Bad news is that I still can't get elephant to work out of the box: ELE-TESTS 8 > (do-backend-tests) lispworks-5-0-0-x86-linux: symbol lookup error: src/db-bdb/libberkeley-db.so: undefined symbol: db_env_create ;; lispworks exits abnormally So I spent sometime to diagnose this. Here're my findings: I went through the asdf compilation log and found that this looks suspicious: $ gcc -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5/lib/ -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5/include/ -shared -fPIC -Wall -O2 -g src/db-bdb/libberkeley-db.c -o src/db-bdb/libberkeley-db.so -lm $ ldd src/db-bdb/libberkeley-db.so linux-gate.so.1 => (0x009fb000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00110000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00db5000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0085f000) I then recompiled the file with a -ldb flag $ gcc -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5/lib/ -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5/include/ -shared -fPIC -Wall -O2 -g src/db-bdb/libberkeley-db.c -o src/db-bdb/libberkeley-db.so -lm -ldb $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5/lib/ $ ldd src/db-bdb/libberkeley-db.so linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00d71000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00d43000) libdb-4.5.so => /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5/lib/libdb-4.5.so (0x00918000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00b43000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0085f000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00f9c000) After that lispworks successfully ran (do-backend-tests) and passed all the tests. How do you get it to work without these tweaks? fungsin _______________________________________________ elephant-devel site list elephant-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/elephant-devel
