Boost libraries - detected as root, not as user [solved]

valmar · 2007-03-14 18:14:46

Hello everyone.

I installed arch64 on my pc a few days ago. I am very impressed and happy with the distribution and I decided to keep it on my machine side by side with another distribution (Sidux, right now). I am just having a minor problem.

I installed the boost libraries using pacman (from the extra repositories). I am now trying to compile in arch64 a software that we develop at the University of Basel (IPLT). It uses scons for compiling the code. Scons checks the existence of the required libraries and headers pretty much like automake/autoconf does.

Now, if I compile the program as root, the boost libraries are detected and our code compiles mighty fine. If I try as a user, it complains not being able to find boost.

Could in your opinion be a permission problem? Or, since scons draws the search paths from the env variables, are the libraries or the headers of boost in the path for the root user and not for the common user? I checked the PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables, etc. but it all looks fine to me!

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide

Could you post:
a) pacman -Ql boost | grep lib
b) the relevant portions of the SConscript (or whatever it's called... haven't used scons in some time).

As a side note: is your user shell run as a login shell? That is, is it actually sourcing /etc/profile on login?

Wow! What a quick answer!

Yes, it's called SConscript. I will post everything when I get home this evening. Right now I am at work and I don't have my Arch installation handy.

Really, thank you.

[Warning: This post has been edited extensively from its original form]

Ok, I am sorry but I had some personal problems yesterday and could not write you.

I tried to install Arch on a virtual machine at work to keep working on this issue but had some problems

At the beginning I posted my problems in this message. Later, it turned out they were due to a typo in a configuration file (/boot/grub/menu.lst) on my part.

To keep the thread clean I am deleting the description of the problems and bringing the message back to the real issue.

2) This is not so easy, I would have to post several files. The commands performing the check (the relevant portion of the configuration file) is:

........
conf = env.Configure()

if not conf.CheckLibWithHeader('boost_filesystem'+boost_suffix, 'boost/filesystem/path.hpp', 'c++', 'boost::filesystem::path p("/");'):
print "Error: boost.filesystem headers and/or lib not found"
sys.exit(-1)

if not conf.CheckLibWithHeader('boost_regex'+boost_suffix, 'boost/regex.hpp', 'c++', 'boost::regex re(".*");'):
print "Error: boost.regex headers and/or lib not found"
sys.exit(-1)
........

boost_suffix is ' ' (null string)

In the following, I am printing out the environment variables of ther "env" environment above, so you have an idea of which directories are searched. This is done with the command:

print env.Dump()

Ok, I solved the problem and found out that it was again caused by me and not by the system.

The way scons check if a library is available is by generating a small code file and then by trying to compile it and to link it against the library that must be checked. This happens in an hidden folder called .sconf_temp.

Since Archlinux lets you have only a root user at the beginning, and I was impatient to try our software, I tried compiling while being the root user. This created the temporary directory which was now owned by root.

Later, after creating a user, I tried compiling our software as a user. Scons would try to write the small test file into the sconf_temp directory, but would fail beacuse the folder was owned by root. Scons at this point would realize that the test compiling had failed, and blame it on missing libraries as opposed to a permission problem. So I would only see a message like "Libraries not present".

Compiling the software as a user in a new fresh directory worked like a charm.

I must really have looked stupid by writing on this forum about two problems that were actually created by me. I am sorry for wasting everyone's time. Thanks for your help anyway.

Heh, it's cool. We all do stuff like that. At least you got it solved. 8)
