Runtime error when building with mkl dylib

[xiang_c_]

When I built my program with MKL statically (.a files), everything was fine. But, when I built the code with those .dylib files and ran it, I got following errors:

dyld: Symbol not found: _MKL_Detect_Cpu_Global_Lock
  Referenced from: /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2017.4.181/mac/mkl/lib/libmkl_intel_lp64.dylib
  Expected in: flat namespace
 in /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2017.4.181/mac/mkl/lib/libmkl_intel_lp64.dylib
Abort trap: 6

What does this usually imply? I tried to add the directory containing .dylib files into $PATH, but it didn't help.

Hi xiang,

' _MKL_Detect_Cpu_Global_Lock' is bss symbol defined in libmkl_avx*.dylib, libmkl_core.dylib, libmkl_mc.dylib, libmkl_mc3.dylib, libmkl_p4m.dylib & libmkl_p4m3.dylib

If you meet linage error with missing symbol that probably because the lib path of MKL is not being linked, please use '-L${MKLROOT}/lib' for your link line. You could also check with MKL advisor to generate your link line.

Bets regards,
Fiona

Hi Fiona,

I'm sure I've added that path. Actually, the building process itself succeeded and the executable file was generated. These errors popped up when I ran the file.

Best,

Hi Xiang,

Have you run the mklvars.sh? 

Generally, run one code with mkl dynamic library, please check:

 add the path of lib<product>.dylib in system environment before run binary (The <product> could be "mkl" or "ipp"). There are two methods to realize the solution:

• Run shell script file to set environment variables, for example, setting MKL:
  > /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2017.*.***/mac/mkl/bin/mklvars.sh <ia32|intel64>
• Or write command to set directly, for example, setting MKL:
  > export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2017.*.***/mac/mkl/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

and let us know if it works.

Best Regards,

Ying

Hi Ying,

Thanks for your detailed instructions, it helped me to locate the problem. It is somehow due to my use of "find_library" command in cmake (weird). When I wrote out the full path of those libraries, the problem has gone. 

Thank you again!

Best,

Xiang

No idea why this doesn't work for a simple, SIMPLE program below and I need to compile AND run with -lmkl_sequential because the library needs "_mkl_blas_caxpy".   And yes I ran oneAPI setvars.sh.

`icc -L${MKLROOT}/lib -lmkl_sequential -std=c11 /Users/brian/tools/test/apbs/src/.config/float_epsilon.c -o test.o`

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    float floatEpsilon = 1.0;
    while(1.0 + floatEpsilon / 2.0 != 1.0)
        floatEpsilon /= 2.0;
    printf( "%e", floatEpsilon );
    return 0;
}

I get this error and it's very frustrating when it gets down to being this simple:

./test.odyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _mkl_serv_core_register_cleanup

GOT IT.  Forgot about -lmkl_core form the bindings form
