ld.so.1 can't find symbol.

[Christopher Lintz]

Can someone offer direction to this strange problem.  I have built a 4 line function and built it into a shared library using libtool.  I call the library with dlopen() (which is succesful), but when I call dlsym() it can't find the symbol for the function.  However, If i go into the gdb debugger and display the functions (info functions) in the symbol table, my function is there!!!  I can even call the function in gdb (call foo(3) ).    I am on Solaris 2.6 and installed the latest linker patch (107733-09) that did not help a thing.  Does anyone know what could possibly be happening??    Here is my libtool commands (which work fine): libtool gcc -g -O -c gcc001.cpp libtool gcc -g -O -o libgcc001.la gcc001.lo -rpath /home/cjl/lang/c++/sharedLibraries/.libs -lm libtool gcc -module -o libgcc001.la gcc001.lo -rpath /home/cjl/lang/c++/sharedLibraries/.libs -lm libtool gcc -g -export-dynamic -ldl -o dlopen dlopen.cpp Here is my shared object code (gcc001.cpp): int myTestFunction(int x) {   x = x*2;   return x; } Here is my code that does the dlopen() and dlsym():   #include <stdio.h> #include <dlfcn.h> #include <stdio.h> int main() {        void *handle;    int (*fptr)(int);    char* error = 0;    handle = dlopen("/home/cjl/lang/c++/sharedLibraries/.libs/libgcc001.so", RTLD_NOW | RTLD_WORLD  );    if(!handle)    {       fputs( dlerror(), stderr);       exit( -1 );    }    fptr = (int (*) (int) ) dlsym(handle, "myTestFunction");    char* error_msg = dlerror();    if (error_msg)    {       fprintf(stderr, "Error locating mytestFunction %s\n", error_msg );       dlclose(handle);       exit(-1);    }    printf("%d\n",(*fptr)(8) );    dlclose(handle);    return 0; }
