I have a problem with dlopen() that I don't know how to analyse.
Let's start from the beginning. I'm trying to upgrade an old VoIP server
with OpenBSD 5.3 amd64, installing a completely new PC with OpenBSD 5.9
amd64 and reinstalling all the programs there.
The problem is that, EXACTLY the same source (OpenSER 1.1 with some
custom changes) compiles correctly under 5.9 but it's unable to load the
mysql module. The main program loads a few modules compiled as ".so"
loadable modules. All modules are correctly loaded but one, the mysql.so
one.
This is the code that load the modules:
handle=dlopen(path, RTLD_NOW); /* resolve all symbols now */
if (handle==0){
LOG(L_ERR, "ERROR: load_module: could not open module <%s>:
%s\n",
path, dlerror() );
goto error;
}
And this is the error generated:
Jun 29 17:18:37 eowyn2 openser: ERROR: load_module: could not open
module </usr/local/lib/openser/modules/mysql.so>: Cannot load specified
object
Here is the ldd of the module (I verified that all the libraries listed
here actually do exist):
eowyn2:/home/giannici# ldd /usr/local/lib/openser/modules/mysql.so

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.57.0
I repeat that:
1) The same source had no problem under OpenBSD 5.3.
2) All other modules are correctly loaded, only this one give error.
Now, what could be the problem?
How can I find what is the specific problem?
I'd like to have a more specific error instead of "Cannot load specified
object". Is there any way?
Something changed in dlopen() between OpenBSD 5.3 and 5.9?
Thank you for any suggestion.
