libsect283k1_ubuntu.so: cannot open shared object file about iotex-core HOT 16 CLOSED

This is because you've not setup LD_LIBRARY_PATH. libsect283k1_ubuntu.so isn't in a standard shared lib dir. See http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html.

BTW, be aware that the lib will still not work for you because you're in centos instead of ubuntu. We've not supported centos yet.

where do i get this library from? i appreciate that it won't work on Centos7 but the container i assume should have this library installed. Is this library custom or is it provided by Ubuntu repositories? I do not see much reference outside of this project

from iotex-core.

Yes, this is our custom library.

from iotex-core.

is it available on a repository somewhere, a bit stuck without it.

from iotex-core.

It's under <project_root>/crypto/lib/libsect283k1_ubuntu.so

from iotex-core.

I only see Header files here, is there C file to compile to Shared library? I assume i would need to do something like the following assuming i had the C

gcc -c sect283k1.c -fPIC
ld -shared --soname libsect283k1_centos.so sect283k1.o

from iotex-core.

So temporary work around

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/go/src/github.com/iotexproject/iotex-core/crypto/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
iotex-server -config /etc/iotex/config.yaml -log-path /var/log/iotex/server.log &

We can set this in Dockerfile ENV

ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/go/src/github.com/iotexproject/iotex-core/crypto/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

from iotex-core.

1. for make run, please wait for the fix tonight
2. Dockerfile doesn't need setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH

from iotex-core.

The problem should have been fixed. make run should work from project root dir (mac os and ubuntu). Feel free to reopen the issue if you find it's not.

How can i compile the library for centos, are we missing the C files. It works as expected now for Docker container i can start iotex-server without shared library.

You're actually using the shared library. You don't need to setup LD_LIBRARY_PATH because we cp the library to the standard path.

from iotex-core.

How can i build it for Centos though ?

from iotex-core.

We currently only ship the library binary, so that you're not able to build it on centos. We're still testing it with different linux distributions.

from iotex-core.

i assume sect283k1 is your lightweight ECC implementation ?

from iotex-core.

copy /go/src/github.com/iotexproject/iotex-core/crypto/lib/ibsect283k1_ubuntu.so /usr/lib
make run

problem solved.

from iotex-core.

@wyh136 bit of a hack but yes that will work, if you get any updates to this library in future you need to ensure you are using latest version so that should be done within your build, Iotex actually have a working Docker image (sort of most recent has bug)

From Dockerfile

 cp $GOPATH/src/github.com/iotexproject/iotex-core/crypto/lib/libsect283k1_ubuntu.so /usr/lib/ 

As this is part of Dockerfile it is updated each time you pull latest and re-run docker build
