Error looking up function 'dwarf_producer_init': /usr/lib/libdwarf.so: undefined symbol: dwarf_producer_init

[DCNick3]

When using with ghidra 10.3.3 on arch linux, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This seems to happen because of version mismatch of system libdwarf and the one used by the script + the loader preferring the system libdwarf over the one provided in the script.

I was able to work around the issue by renaming the library to libdwardf_vendor.so and updating the library to call loadLibrary with dwardf_vendor

@DCNick3 can you explain in detail how you worked around the issue? Where is the call to loadLibrary? Thanks

[DCNick3]

The call is here I believe.

Here's a complete diff I used for my workaround:

(the change to use of java 1.8 was probably because that's what I have on my system)

Then I re-built the plugin with the fetch_libs_and_build.sh script in the lib subfolder. After this the build plugin will be located at target/libdwarf.jar
