Purify-SGI Fatal Error

UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi ,

attempting to purify code on the link line generates a fatal error
like this

#ERROR: (fatal) Cannot find libtest.so in the search path [/home/users/avadhani/test/cat_PMI].

command line:
-------------
purify -show-directory=yes -always-use-cache-dir -cache-dir=/ppic/users/avadhani/sgi/pure /usr/bin/CC -n32 -mips3 -DFDT_BUILD -DERR_LOG -DSIGNALS -DVERSION_NUMBER=3.0 -DPATCH_NUMBER=1 -signed -use_readonly_const -rdata_shared -xansi -no_auto_include -ptnone -prelink -O2 -OPT:Olimit=5000 -o /home/users/avadhani/test/cat_IMP /home/users/avadhani/test/udu_file.o -L/ppic/users/avadhani/test/lib -ltest -lpthread -lXm -lXt -lX11 -lm
Execution output:
#ERROR: (fatal) Cannot find libtest.so in the search path [/home/users/avadhani/test/cat_PMI].

I have placed libtest.so in mentioned dir. Above command works fine without purify.

SGI OS:
-------
IRIX64 6.5 6.5.22m IP30 mips
CC compiler:
-----------
MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.4.2m

Plz give me any suggestions for such kind of errors.

Thanks

I thank for your interest.

I made following changes to command line.

purify -show-directory=yes -always-use-cache-dir -cache-dir=/ppic/users/avadhani/sgi/pure /usr/bin/CC -n32 -mips3 -DFDT_BUILD -DERR_LOG -DSIGNALS -DVERSION_NUMBER=3.0 -DPATCH_NUMBER=1 -signed -use_readonly_const -rdata_shared -xansi -no_auto_include -ptnone -prelink -O2 -OPT:Olimit=5000 -L/ppic/users/avadhani/test/lib -ltest -o /home/users/avadhani/test/cat_IMP /home/users/avadhani/test/udu_file.o -lpthread -lXm -lXt -lX11 -lm

i,e I first made include dir of lib. However I believe , it should not matter with above change . It has worked now and generated the executable.

Thanks
