Hi Hernan, the strace equivalent on OSX seems to be dtruss (yes I'm learning OSX too :) sudo dtruss -p [pid of process] in the trace I have this: stat("/Users/laurentlaffont/Downloads/Seaside.app/Contents/Resources/yaz3.bundle/Contents/MacOS/yaz3\0", 0xBFF59440, 0xBFF5AB28) = -1 Err#2 stat64("/Users/laurentlaffont/Downloads/Seaside.app/Contents/Resources/yaz3.bundle/Contents/MacOS/yaz3\0", 0xBFF5892C, 0xBFF5AB28) = -1 Err#2 stat("/Users/laurentlaffont/Downloads/Seaside.app/Contents/Resources/yaz3\0", 0xBFF59440, 0xBFF5AB28) = 0 0 stat64("/Users/laurentlaffont/Downloads/Seaside.app/Contents/Resources/yaz3\0", 0xBFF5892C, 0xBFF5AB28) = 0 0 open("/Users/laurentlaffont/Downloads/Seaside.app/Contents/Resources/yaz3\0", 0x0, 0x0) = 12 0 pread(0xC, "\317\372\355\376\a\0", 0x1000, 0x0) = 4096 0 close(0xC) = 0 0 stat("/Users/laurentlaffont/Downloads/Plugins/yaz3.bundle/Contents/MacOS/yaz3\0", 0xBFF59440, 0x1000) = -1 Err#2 stat64("/Users/laurentlaffont/Downloads/Plugins/yaz3.bundle/Contents/MacOS/yaz3\0", 0xBFF5892C, 0x1000) = -1 Err#2 stat("/Users/laurentlaffont/Downloads/Plugins/yaz3\0", 0xBFF59440, 0x1000) = -1 Err#2 stat64("/Users/laurentlaffont/Downloads/Plugins/yaz3\0", 0xBFF5892C, 0x1000) = -1 Err#2 so it looks like the VM is trying to find yaz3 at non standard Unix places (I don't know if it's SqueakVM or OSX related). I've created Contents/Resources/yaz3.bundle/Contents/MacOS/, put yaz lib there, ln -s libyaz.3.dylib yaz3 but no success. I've read good post http://forum.world.st/FFI-Documentation-td2225150.html : Module Location - where the external library file lives - depends on the platform - Mac - pre Snow Leopard - checks VM path and common library paths - Snow Leopard - only looks in VM bundle's Resources file, you must either [5]: - store all external libraries there - ln -s path/to/library path/to/VM/Resources/library_name - Change the VM's Info.plist "SqueakPluginsBuiltInOrLocalOnly" key from "true" to "false." For this SqueakPluginsBuiltInOrLocalOnly I suppose I need to compile a VM ? Cheers, Laurent Laffont On Mon, Dec 20, 2010 at 4:12 PM, Hernán Morales Durand < hernan.morales@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Laurent
I've read there is a couple of system calll monitors in MacOS, ktrace and dtrace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ktrace , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DTrace) so you may attach to the VM and see what's missing? Cheers,
Hernán

Thanks Hernan. It still doesn't work. I've also tried to play with LD_LOAD_PATH / LD_LIBRARY_PATH no success.... I want to make it work so I need to learn :)
For the mangled function names, on Linux and OSX there's nm. Here's what I get: $ nm -g libyaz.3.dylib | grep ZOOM_connection_create 0000000000046a30 T _ZOOM_connection_create Cheers, Laurent

Hi Laurent,
Thanks for reporting. The correct #moduleName for MacOS was missing, I've uploaded a new version answering 'libyaz.3.dylib' which I guess is the corresponding for 'yaz3.dll' (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_library#Naming ).
I haven't access to a MacOS, but in Windows I've had to find the mangled function names (i.e. _ZOOM_connection_create@4) so FFI can find the function addresses and you don't get the classic "Error: Unable to find function address". I don't know if it's related since talks about C++, but you may want to check http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/3735
The tool I've used to find the mangled function names in Windows is the Steve Miller's Dependency Walker http://www.dependencywalker.com/

Hi,
I want to use http://www.squeaksource.com/Z3950 Following install instructions, I've dowloaded yaz sources (I've tried 4.1.2 and 3.0.52) as it seems there's no binary for OSX, ./configure && make && make install. Then using latest Seaside One Click image I've copied /usr/local/lib/*yaz* in Seaside.app/Contents/MacOS $ ls ~/Downloads/Seaside.app/Contents/MacOS/ Squeak VM Opt libyaz.a libyaz.la libyaz_icu.a libyaz_icu.la libyaz_server.a libyaz_server.la libyaz.3.dylib libyaz.dylib libyaz_icu.3.dylib libyaz_icu.dylib libyaz_server.3.dylib libyaz_server.dylib
But then I have a External Module Not Found on YAZPQFFFILibrary>>createParser " YAZPQDFFILibrary default createParser " <cdecl: YAZPQFParser 'yaz_pqf_create' (void) module: 'yaz3'> ^ self externalCallFailed
Any hint ? Cheers, Laurent Laffont -- FFI newbie
