Does IPP 7.0 work on Ubuntu 11.10?

[hoangnguyen79]

Hi,

I installed IPP 7.0 on Ubuntu 11.10. But it does not work. I keep getting weird linking error. E.g:

/opt/intel/ipp/lib/ia32/libippi.a(pialloc_split_p8_ippiFree.o)||In function `p8_ippiFree':|
pialloc_split_p8_ippiFree.i|| undefined reference to `ippFree'|

Although I'm sure that libippcore.a has been found by the linker.

Please help. Tanks!

Hello,

I've had good results with 64 bit Ubuntu 11.10.

Just to verify that your setup works, here is a quick test program:


#include "ipp.h"
#include "stdio.h"
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
ippInit();
const IppLibraryVersion *lib = ippsGetLibVersion();
printf("%s %s\n",lib->Name, lib->Version);
return 0;
}

Does something like this work for you?

g++ -o helloipp helloipp.cpp -I$IPPROOT/include -L$IPPROOT/lib/intel64 -lipps -lippcore

The "Library Dependencies by Domain" section of the IPP User's Guide might also help.

Best regards,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Thanks so much for replying.
I tried exactly your example, as follows:

IPPROOT=/opt/intel/ipp
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/intel/lib/ia32:/opt/intel/ipp/lib/ia32:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
export IPPROOT
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
g++ -o helloipp helloipp.cpp -I$IPPROOT/include -L$IPPROOT/lib/ia32 -lipps -lippcore

and here is what I got:

/opt/intel/lib/ia32/libiomp5.so: undefined reference to `pthread_atfork'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

then I tried adding -pthread, as follows:g++ -o helloipp helloipp.cpp -I$IPPROOT/include -L$IPPROOT/lib/ia32 -lipps -lippcore -pthread

but the result stays axectly the same:

/opt/intel/lib/ia32/libiomp5.so: undefined reference to `pthread_atfork'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I checked to see if I have libpthread and it seems that I do have it:

sudo find -name *libpthread*

./usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so
./usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread_nonshared.a
./usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.a
./usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xen/libpthread_nonshared.a
./usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xen/libpthread.a
./lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0
./lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread-2.13.so

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

By the way, the exact same example works fine in Ubuntu 10.04

Hi

How about to try
g++ -o helloipp helloipp.cpp -I$IPPROOT/include -L$IPPROOT/lib/ia32 -lippi -lipps -lippcore -liomp5 -lpthread
?

As the article: How to build IPP application in Linux environment.

Thanks Ying. I tried your line (plus adding one more library path):

g++ -o helloipp helloipp.cpp -I$IPPROOT/include -L$IPPROOT/lib/ia32 -L/opt/intel/lib/ia32 -lipps -lippcore -liomp5 -lpthread

and we stil have the same result:

/opt/intel/lib/ia32/libiomp5.so: undefined reference to `pthread_atfork'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Please help. Thanks!

Hi Hoangnguyen,

The problem looks not the pthread or -lpthread or IPP version, but thesymbol pthread_atfork implementitself. I search one blog from

http://ryanarn.blogspot.com/2011/07/curious-case-of-pthreadatfork-on.html

Itshould disclose the real cause.
Could you pleasecheck the pthread_atfork symbol in libpthread* by nm /lib/libpthread.so.0 and libpthread_nonshared.a.

Best Regards,
Ying
