dlopen() crashing

Hello all,

I am trying to use dlsym() which means I have to call dlopen(), and it is crashing with messages such as

     Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 643: _dl_open:
      Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!

I am calling it as follows:

dlOpen:aString mode:int
    < cdecl: void* 'dlopen' ( char* long ) >  
    ^ self externalCallFailed.

With zero for the mode parameter, it runs but returns an null handle; with 2 (now) or 10 (now|global), it crashes.

Any ideas or working examples?

Shouldn't you declare the "mode" parameter?

Bert,

What do you mean by "declare the mode parameter" - did I not do that via the argument named int?
