Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience using DLMs under
IRIX 6.5? I have a DLM that works fine under Linux,
but fails under IRIX. I then tried the IDL example
called "testmodule" that comes with the distribution,
and it fails with the same error under IRIX - the
DLM cannot be loaded:
% cd test
% cp /usr/local/rsi/idl/external/dlm/* .
% vi Makefile <change IRIX to IRIX64>
% make
% idl
IDL> DLM_LOAD, 'testmodule'
% DLM_LOAD: Error loading sharable executable.
Symbol: IDL_Load, File = /usr/people3/mallors/test/testmodule.so
1291373:/usr/local/rsi/idl_5.2/bin/bin.sgi/idl: rld: Fatal Error:
Cannot Successfully map soname
'/usr/people3/mallors/test/testmodule.so' under any of the
filenames /usr/people3/mallors/test/testmodule.so
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
IDL> exit
%
% file /usr/people3/mallors/test/testmodule.so
/usr/people3/mallors/test/testmodule.so:
ELF N32 MSB mips-4 dynamic lib MIPS - version 1
I did have to change the testmodule Makefile a little
since it looks for the system called "IRIX", and uname
on my system is "IRIX64". I tried setting the
IDL_DLM_PATH environment variable as well (and even
LD_LIBRARY_PATH), but no luck.

Thank you sir, that did it. IDL 5.2 is o32, so adding the -o32
flag to the compiler and linker did the trick.

It's most likely the SGI ABI problem.
IDL used to be a o32 binary, so any external code had to be built
using the -o32 compiler flag. I cannot remember which version
was the first to become N32, 5.1 was o32 and 5.2.1 is n32, but I
don't know what 5.2 is.
You can check by the command :
file /usr/local/rsi/idl_5.2/bin/bin.sgi/idl
If is is listed as ELF 32-bit MSB then you need to build the DLMs
with the -o32 flag.
All I had to change to build the testmodule DLM was to change the
IRIX to IRIX64 in the Makefile. My default compiler options are
abi=n32:isa=mips3:proc=r4k and this worked with IDL 5.2.1.

Glad to be of help.
Don't forget, though, that when you next upgrade IDL (even to 5.2.1)
that all those DLMs, and any libraries they use, will have to be
re-compiled as N32 objects.
Don't you just love working with sgi?
