external calls - Error loading shared library libML64i3.so


I'm trying to call Mathematica from C. I'm following the example https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/32864/14301 with http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/tutorial/MathLinkDeveloperGuide-Unix.html#725481284


The code I have is: mlcall.c (identical to what i linked)


#include 
#include 


int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    MLENV env;
    MLINK link;
    int errno;
    int packet;

    env = MLInitialize(0);

    /* consider using MLOpenString instead here: */    


    link = MLOpenArgcArgv(env, argc, argv, &errno);

    MLActivate(link);

    /* send 42+137 using the full form Plus[42, 137] */
    MLPutFunction(link, "Plus", 2);
    MLPutInteger(link, 42);
    MLPutInteger(link, 137);
    MLEndPacket(link);


    /* get packets until we find a ReturnPacket or error */
    while ((packet = MLNextPacket(link)) && packet != RETURNPKT)
        MLNewPacket(link);

    if (MLError(link))
        printf("error.\n");
    else {
        int result;
        MLGetInteger(link, &result); /* we know that the result is an integer in this case */

        printf("result: %d\n", result);
    }

    return 0;
}

and makefile:


MLINKDIR = /opt/Mathematica-9.0/SystemFiles/Links/MathLink/DeveloperKit
SYS=Linux-x86-64
CADDSDIR = ${MLINKDIR}/${SYS}/CompilerAdditions


INCDIR = ${CADDSDIR}
LIBDIR = ${CADDSDIR}

MLLIB = ML64i3

EXTRALIBS = -lm -lpthread -lrt -lstdc++ # Set these with appropriate libs for your system.

mlcall: mlcall.c
    $(CC) -O mlcall.c -I$(INCDIR) -L$(LIBDIR) -l${MLLIB} ${EXTRALIBS} -o $@


clean:
    rm mlcall

Output of make is:


cc -O mlcall.c -I/opt/Mathematica-9.0/SystemFiles/Links/MathLink/DeveloperKit/Linux-x86-64/CompilerAdditions -L/opt/Mathematica-9.0/SystemFiles/Links/MathLink/DeveloperKit/Linux-x86-64/CompilerAdditions -lML64i3 -lm -lpthread -lrt -lstdc++  -o mlcall

So no errors, but when I try to run mlcall with either ./mlcall or ./mlcall -linkmode launch -linkname "/usr/bin/MathKernel" I get the following error:


./mlcall: error while loading shared libraries: libML64i3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I do have libML64i3.so in the directory /opt/Mathematica-9.0/SystemFiles/Links/MathLink/DeveloperKit/Linux-x86-64/CompilerAdditions -L/opt/Mathematica-9.0/SystemFiles/Links/MathLink/DeveloperKit/Linux-x86-64/CompilerAdditions and I also tried to copy it to the directory I was running mlcall in. What should I do?



Answer



On Linux you can add the directory containing this library to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.


A semi-automated way to do this from a command prompt is this:


MATHLINK=$(dirname $(readlink -f $(which math)))/../SystemFiles/Links/MathLink/DeveloperKit/Linux-x86-64/CompilerAdditions

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$MATHLINK

You can use this merthod of detecting the location in a shell script that will start your program.

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

What is and isn't a valid variable specification for Manipulate?

I have an expression whose terms have arguments (representing subscripts), like this: myExpr = A[0] + V[1,T] I would like to put it inside a Manipulate to see its value as I move around the parameters. (The goal is eventually to plot it wrt one of the variables inside.) However, Mathematica complains when I set V[1,T] as a manipulated variable: Manipulate[Evaluate[myExpr], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, T], 0, 1}] (*Manipulate::vsform: Manipulate argument {V[1,T],0,1} does not have the correct form for a variable specification. >> *) As a workaround, if I get rid of the symbol T inside the argument, it works fine: Manipulate[ Evaluate[myExpr /. T -> 15], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, 15], 0, 1}] Why this behavior? Can anyone point me to the documentation that says what counts as a valid variable? And is there a way to get Manpiulate to accept an expression with a symbolic argument as a variable? Investigations I've done so far: I tried using variableQ from this answer , but it says V[1...
