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.

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...

How to thread a list

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...
