Relocation error sun workshop 6 C++ 5.3

Question

iam using the sun workshop 6 C++ 5.3 compiler on SunOS 5.8. iam building a shared object abc.so
the build is fine but when this "so" is actually used in a process i get the following error:
fatal: relocation error: file abc.so: symbol __1cDstdbG__RTTI__1nDstdIios_baseHfailure__: referenced symbol not found.
i found that this symbol is defined in the libCstd.so which has been linked and its location is in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
what could be the problem ? (an "ldd abc.so" does not show libCstd.so nor does it give an error)
regards,

Answer 1

The combination rwtools7,iostream,Cstd is not valid.
These are the valid combinations:
rwtools7_std,Cstd
rwtools7,iostream
You cannot use rwtools7 and Cstd in the same program.
You need iostream when you use rwtools7.
You can use rwtools7_std and Cstd in the same program.
You cannot use rwtools7_std and iostream in the same program.
You generally cannot use both "classic" iostreams (iostream) and the C++ standard library (Cstd) in the same program, because of conflicts between classic and standard iostreams. If you understand all the issues and are very careful, you can make it work, but we recommend against trying to make it work.
If "ldd abc.so" does not show libCstd.so, it means either libCstd has been statically linked, or no dependency on libCstd occurred in the code.
In my previous message I described what you need to do to get libCstd linked dynamically using C++ 5.3. It should be easy to see whether the symbolic links are present in the compiler installation.
C++ 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 link libCstd dynamically by default. You don't need to do anything special.
