freebsd stable - Oct 2005 - math/grace port: "libXcursor.so.1.0" not found ??

Hi,

I'm running FreeBSD 5-Stable.

I only seem to encounter this problem with the
math/graphical port 'grace', and the dlopen()
call inthere.

It seems to be a FreeBSD specific problem and
I wonder if other people on this list encounter
the same problem.


This is the problem:

1. Install Grace from ports (math/grace)

2. Create $HOME/.grace/gracerc.user and put
   one line in this file:
     USE "pow" TYPE f_of_dd FROM "/usr/lib/libm.so"
   (this is the example from the Grace UsersGuide)

3. Start grace like this:
   $ xmgrace
   Shared object "libXcursor.so.1.0" not found,
      required by "xmgrace"
   DL module load failed: USE "pow" TYPE F_OF_DD
      FROM "/usr/lib/libm.so"
   Error at line 1

Because if this library problem, Grace cannot
load "pow" from "/usr/lib/libm.so". However,
apart from that, grace starts normally.

The syntax in file "gracerc.user" is correct; I
have verified this with the Grace mailinglist.
The line "Shared object...not found" is the error
message-string set by the dlopen() call in Grace:

  handle     (void *)dlopen("/usr/lib/libm.so", RTLD_LAZY)

When I do a 'locate libXcursor.so.1.0', I get:
/usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1.0.2


Why is dlopen() failing on "libXcursor.so.1.0" ?

A possible hint could be that "libXcursor.so.1.0.2"
appears when 'strings /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6'.
Why is it in libX11.so.6 ??


Thanks for help or clues!

Rob.

I answered this question the last time you posted it.

Does grace work correctly if you don't include this line?

"libXcursor.so.1.0" is not a valid FreeBSD shared library name.
The closest is /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1

It doesn't make sense for an attempt to dlopen libm to complain about
an X library.

You might like to try asking the port maintainer (see the Makefile).
