El Capitan cannot locate the binaries sift and unable to load libsiftgpu.so #25

Open stereo3d opened 8 years ago

stereo3d commented 8 years ago

getting the Userinterface to appear on El Capitan, I cannot get the software to work. With or without GPU, with different sifts all installed in the same directory as VisualSFM

when I want to detect features

I always get the message: cannot locate sift binaries

SIFT: 0000, 1022x1774, ERROR1 ERROR: unable to locate sift binary. FAQ at http://ccwu.me/vsfm/doc.html#errors

-------timing------

1 Feature Detection finished, 0 sec used

3 pairs to compute match NOTE: using 2 matching workers

-------timing------

3 Image Match finished, 0 sec used

Compute Missing Pairwise Matching, finished Totally 0.000 seconds used

or when I disable GPU:

the nv.ini file seems not to be read at all, what ever I put in there does not affect the bevaviour of the program on start. parameter changes not seem to be saved there.

Please help.

Same issue here on El Capitan. Built fine, libsiftgpu.so is in the bin directory, interface appears, able to load an image set, but fails to find libsiftgpu.so when I try to start a match.

whaus7 commented 8 years ago

Arg, same thing here with El Capitan. Either of you guys ever figure it out?

wiltongorske commented 8 years ago

No. I couldn't even get it working on Raspbian! I may partition part of my drive for Ubuntu or even find a Windows laptop.

Dan the Man Monaghan just got back to me about this.

From Dan: "Double check, I had the same problem today when I tried a fresh install and it was that there was no LD_LIBRARY_PATH set up, once I'd done that it was fine."

Trying to figure out how to do this right now. I'm just a front-end web monkey. My systems admin skills are poor at best :)

EDIT: This worked perfectly. Just needed LB_LIBRARY_PATH setup for SiftGPU in my ./bash_profile

I have it working on a nMac Pro that has been "upgraded" to El Capitan but still has gtk+ 2.24.25. I mistakenly updated brew on my Macbook Pro/El Crapitan system which updated to gtk+ 2.24.28 (which no longer has X11 support) and it no longer works. A friend has a similar problem with newer machines that have fresh Homebrew installs that put the latest version of gtk+. We've tried to roll these machines back to the older version of gtk+ but despite trying all sorts of shenanigans, it just won't work. They've changed the way to reinstall versions and the current repository doesn't have any older gtk+ formulas. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-versions

Since I have one machine that works, I gave up....

whaus7 commented 8 years ago

Ugh, gross... well good news is I seem to be making progress. Think my images are just poor/not enough because I'm only getting like 2-3 camera projections (or however this madness is working) and then its saying 'Failed to find two images for initialization'

Any experience with this?

luckybulldozer commented 8 years ago

@whaus7 That definitely sounds like a quality problem. I'll often shoot hundreds of images on DLSR, extremely sharp, well exposed images too, low noise etc... But to get things working work with a well shot smaller set first, as matching 200-300 images on a new MacPro is still pretty laborious.

@jstenner I still like to have a copy working on my laptop too, it can be a lot slower, but on the field it's a must. So to sort out the brew version of gtk+... you can alway do a

brew remove gtk+ 
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/99126a50c96b3c832d72f4531c116271f543eded/Library/Formula/gtk+.rb

Annoying, but it should work.

whaus7 commented 8 years ago

Wow.. 200-300? Is it possible to generate a good modal for a very basic single object with 50-60 images? Guess I'll find out soon lol. Now computing dense reconstruction is throwing an error

Running Yasutaka Furukawa's CMVS tool... cmvs /Users/whausman/Desktop/test-object.cmvs/00/ 50 8 ERROR: the above CMVS command failed!

Any idea? Thanks again for all the help Dan!

whaus7 commented 8 years ago

Well I definitely see cmvs, genOption and pmvs2 all in the same folder as VisualSFM exe per the FAQ's page.

whaus7 commented 8 years ago

So.. dense construction seems to be working if I select NVM -> CMP-MVS instead of CMP -> CMVS for the output file type

Is this ok to do? Now after dense construction finishes if I hit tab for viewing dense 3d points. all points disappear and it just goes blank white

Anyone have this kind of behavior before?

whaus7 commented 8 years ago

Rock on... did a fresh install and I'm in business!

thebussurfer commented 8 years ago

Hello, I am having the same problem with this

ERROR: unable to load libsiftgpu.so ERROR: unable to get function address SIFT: 0000, 1944x2592, ERROR1 ERROR: unable to locate sift binary. FAQ at http://ccwu.me/vsfm/doc.html#errors

I saw @whaus7 fixed it by setting up LB_LIBRARY_PATH but I don't know how to do that :(

Trying to use VisualSFM on Mac OSX Any help would be amazing! thanks

indy500driver commented 8 years ago

Would I use nano to set up the LB_LIBRARY_PATH in my bash profile?

Saandji commented 8 years ago

To setup LB_LIBRARY_PATH, simply:

  1. open terminal
  2. use your favorite tool to edit ~/.bash_profile (for example: nano ~/.bash_profile)
  3. paste two string at the bottom: (replace YOUR_PATH_TO_SFM with your path, where you have SFM installed) something like: /Users/somebody/Downloads/ export PATH=YOUR_PATH_TO_SFM/VisualSFM_OS_X_Installer-master/vsfm/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/YOUR_PATH_TO_SFM/VisualSFM_OS_X_Installer-master

hope this helps

but still, this didn't resolve the problem for me... any updates here?

blaaaaaaam commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I'm encountering this issue too. I've added the LB_LIBRARY_PATH to my bash profile using what it said to at the end of the installer.

I'm trying to run it off cpu. I'm using a Retina Macbook that has the integrated graphics IRIS pro card (no dedicated gpu).

I get the standard error code: ERROR: unable to load libsiftgpu.so ERROR: unable to get function address SIFT: 0000, 1944x2592, ERROR1 ERROR: unable to locate sift binary. FAQ at http://ccwu.me/vsfm/doc.html#errors

EDIT: I ran @luckybulldozer gtk+ uninstall and install and now my error code is just this: ERROR: unable to locate sift binary. FAQ at http://ccwu.me/vsfm/doc.html#errors

Hi, I too am trying to use VisualFSM on Mac OS X ~ El Capitan

I'm trying to follow the work flow of Jesse at http://wedidstuff.heavyimage.com/index.php/2013/07/12/open-source-photogrammetry-workflow/ so that I can eventually 3D print a paperweight model of a building at my alma mater. I'm currently working with a smaller set of images of a statue instead until I get a handle on what I'm doing. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not a computer programmer and I'm impressed I've made it to Step B before encountering problems to trouble shoot.

I've tried to run @luckybulldozer gtk+ uninstall and install, but the install appears to be directing gtk+ 2.24.28 to be installed and not gtk+ 2.24.25, hence I'm still getting the same errors as @thebussurfer that I'm trying to correct.

Thank you for your help.

gpanders commented 8 years ago

I was able to finally get this to work by doing the following:

1) Modifying the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH like the end of the install scripts says and @Saandji pointed out 2) In the top level installer folder, copy or move the SiftGPU folder to vsfm/bin/sift 3) Copy or move the vsfm/bin/libsiftgpu.so file to the top level installer folder

jluna79 commented 7 years ago

Thank you @gpanders, worked like a charm! +1

H0icky commented 7 years ago

@gpanders it works for me

  1. Modifying the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH like the end of the install scripts says and @Saandji pointed out
  2. Copy or move the vsfm/bin/libsiftgpu.so file to the top level installer folder
raisonm commented 7 years ago

Was there any other process any one went through? this still isn't working for me. I've tried reloading the stuff 3 times and moving all the files in to place as described. I can't seem to get it to work at all -__-

I checked the dependencies for libsiftgpu too and I believe everything is in place.
