error message when running python mol_lib.py

[hjhung]

When I run

cd harvard_cep
python mol_lib.py

I got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mol_lib.py", line 115, in
MOLLIB = _mol_lib()
File "mol_lib.py", line 12, in init
self.lib = ctypes.CDLL('%s/build/dll/libmol.so' % dir_path)
File "/home/account/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/ctypes/init.py", line 356, in init
self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: /home/account/pytorch_structure2vec-master/harvard_cep/build/dll/libmol.so: undefined symbol: _ZN5RDKit17SmilesMolSupplierC1ERKSsS2_iibb

I think this issue is related with #2, but I can not solve this problem with the suggestion. I have tried to rebuilt rdkit and boost severl times, but the same error still incurs.

Thanks for help!

Hi,

Have you properly defined the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include your rdkit lib?

[hjhung]

Hi,

Yes, I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as /home/account/boost/lib/:/home/account/rdkit/lib. Did I missing something needed?

[Hanjun-Dai]

If you built the rdkit by your own, did you do make install ?

[hjhung]

Hi,

Yes, I did make install but still got the error.

I was wondering whether this is because of the boost library. I can not install the boost.python successfully in my home directory (1.65.1) successfully and thus another version of boost (in /usr/include/boost, 1.69.0) is also used in the process.

Thanks!

[Hanjun-Dai]

which version of rdkit are you using?

[hjhung]

I am using Release_2019.03.1.

[Hanjun-Dai]

can you try Release_2017_09_2? that was the version I've tested.

I'll also try with new versions of rdkit later

[hjhung]

Of course, will try and let you know later. Thanks a lot!

Another question: did you use miniconda or anaconda?

[hjhung]

Hi,

I tried to install Release_2017_09_2 in the same cluster but it incurs an error during

cmake .. -DPy_ENABLE_SHARED=1 \
	-DRDK_INSTALL_INTREE=ON \
	-DRDK_INSTALL_STATIC_LIBS=OFF \
	-DRDK_BUILD_CPP_TESTS=ON \
	-DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=$PYROOT/include/python3.7m \
	-DBOOST_ROOT="/home/account/boost"

The error is

[Hanjun-Dai]

It seems you don't have c++ boost installed?

[hjhung]

I installed boost 1.65.1. With the same environment and the latest rdkit, I could install rdkit successfully but could not run mol_lib.py as mentioned in the top of this issue.

[Hanjun-Dai]

you need to make sure you have included boost libs in LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[hjhung]

Yes, I have included the boost libs in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/home/account/boost/lib/:/home/account/rdkit/lib:/usr/lib64
