Install[] of working WSTP executable hangs, Mathematica 10.1, linux

I am trying to use WSTP to link to the addtwo.c function example that comes with Mathematica. I have compiled addtwo successfully (took an effort) and if I run it in the command line I can connect it to Mathematica and use it. However running

Install["./addtwo"]

in Mathematica just hangs until I abort. The precompiled addtwo binary that comes with Mathematica does install fine. Is there a way to find out more about why the Install[] fails?

I compiled using the (adapted) makefile which produces:

:~$ make addtwo
/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/10.1/SystemFiles/Links/WSTP/DeveloperKit/Linux-x86-64/CompilerAdditions/wsprep addtwo.tm -o addtwotm.c
gcc -c -I/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/10.1/SystemFiles/Links/WSTP/DeveloperKit/Linux-x86-64/CompilerAdditions addtwotm.c
gcc -c -I/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/10.1/SystemFiles/Links/WSTP/DeveloperKit/Linux-x86-64/CompilerAdditions addtwo.c
gcc -I/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/10.1/SystemFiles/Links/WSTP/DeveloperKit/Linux-x86-64/CompilerAdditions addtwotm.o addtwo.o -L/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/10.1/SystemFiles/Links/WSTP/DeveloperKit/Linux-x86-64/CompilerAdditions -lWSTP64i4 -lm -lpthread -lrt -lstdc++ -ldl -luuid -lWSTP64i4  -o addtwo

Note that addition of -lWSTP64i4 didn't change anything, I tried it because of this answer which was already a bit desperate.

Could it be because of my gcc version? ( 4.6.3-1ubuntu5 )

Answer

Summarizing the comments into an answer: this is really the same issue as in WSTP hangs in Mathematica 10.2.

If using dynamic linking (-lWSTP64i4 will pick up the .so library by default), then said shared library should be copied to a systemwide location or put on LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

The prebuilt examples do not exhibit this behavior because they are statically linked. The same can be accomplished by using -L${LIBDIR} libWSTP64i4.a in your link line.

If one uses the MathLink examples instead, they will work without additional requirements even if dynamically linked. The reason is that when Mathematica is started, it adds to LD_LIBRARY_PATH the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/Libraries/$SystemID directory, which has a copy of the corresponding MathLink libraries, libML32i4.so and libML64i4.so.

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
