sguil not usable on OpenBSD 5.9

[hostingnuggets]

I am trying to install sguil from source on OpenBSD 5.9 with Tcl 8.5 and managed to install without any problems TclX 8.4 but for the mysqltcl package it simply does not want to work... When I test it from the Tcl shell I get the following error:

% package require mysqltcl
couldn't load file "/usr/local/lib/tcl/mysqltcl-3.052/libmysqltcl3052.so.1.0": Cannot load specified object

an ldd on the library file does not show any missing libraries:

/usr/local/lib/mysqltcl-3.052/libmysqltcl3052.so.1.0:

00001d7772653000 00001d7772a7b000 rlib 0 2 0 /usr/lib/libm.so.9.0

I used the following configure parameters to compile mysqltcl:

--with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/tcl/tcl8.5/ --with-mysql-include=/usr/local/include/mysql/ --with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/lib/mysql/

Unfortunately sguil requires mysqltcl and without mysqltcl working on OpenBSD it is not possible to use sguil afaik. Any workaround or ideas how I could still use sguil on OpenBSD?

Is your library path correct? Tcl is looking in /usr/local/lib/tcl/mysqltcl-3.052/ but your library is in /usr/local/lib/mysqltcl-3.052/ Notice the missing /tcl/ part in that last path.

[hostingnuggets]

My path is correct because the /usr/local/lib/tcl/mysqltcl-3.052 directory is actually a symbolic link to /usr/local/lib/mysqltcl-3.052 as you can see below:

ls -lad /usr/local/lib/tcl/mysqltcl-3.052
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  30 May 15 12:45 /usr/local/lib/tcl/mysqltcl-3.052 -> /usr/local/lib/mysqltcl-3.052/

If that's of any help I have used the following guide: http://tildedennis.blogspot.ch/2012/09/squert-on-openbsd.html

[bammv]

Open a tcl shell and type: % load /usr/local/lib/tcl/mysqltcl-3.052/libmysqltcl3052.so.1.0

If you get an error try: % load /usr/local/lib/mysqltcl-3.052/libmysqltcl3052.so.1.0

Unfortunately no success:

but the files are there:

And you have verified the file(s) exist and are readable?

% file exists /usr/local/lib/tcl/mysqltcl-3.052/libmysqltcl3052.so.1.0

% file readable /usr/local/lib/tcl/mysqltcl-3.052/libmysqltcl3052.so.1.0

Yes it indeed exists and is readable, for example:

$ file /usr/local/lib/tcl/mysqltcl-3.052/libmysqltcl3052.so.1.0
/usr/local/lib/tcl/mysqltcl-3.052/libmysqltcl3052.so.1.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1

I don't get it...

[SgtMalicious]

Did you update your linker path information? ldconfig /usr/local/lib/tcl/mysqltcl-3.052

[hostingnuggets]

yep did that and also rebooted a few times in the mean time, does not change anything.

You don't seem to be the only one having issues with mysqltcl on openbsd: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.tech/38662

Thanks for the link, I applied the patch patches/patch-configure included in the tar.gz and recompiled but it still does not work.

[hostingnuggets]

I managed now to get mysqltcl 3.052 working. For that I had to use Tcl version 8.6 instead of 8.5. But now that I am using Tcl version 8.6 I have the next problem related to sguild, when running sguild I get the following error:

$ /usr/local/bin/sguild
ERROR: This version of tcl was compile with threading enabled. Sguil is NOT compatible with threading.
SGUILD: Exiting...

It looks like the OpenBSD guys compiled their tcl-8.6.4.tgz package with threading enabled... What do you suggest here?

[hostingnuggets]

For your information I managed to compile Tcl 8.6.4 from the ports with the --disable-threads option but then the mysqltcl library does not work anymore. I have the feeling the problem with reside somehow with having threads disabled...
