Can not start recoll from calibre /opt/calibre/lib/libz.so.1: no version information

[Satas]

Hello, I have a problem to start recoll from a plugin for calibre.

(See this thread for more information https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...84#post2485684)

I have following errors:

/usr/bin/recoll: /opt/calibre/lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/recoll)
/usr/bin/recoll: /opt/calibre/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by /usr/bin/recoll)
/usr/bin/recoll: /opt/calibre/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/libxapian.so.22)

This is the part of the relevant code:

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, STDOUT
...
cmd = "/usr/bin/recoll -c /home/stanislav/recollplugin -b -t 'test' AND 'hallo'"
p = Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=STDOUT, close_fds=True)

Can someone help me, its one of the last tasks to end my plugin. Nearly everything else works quite well now.

Thanks

Hello,

It looks like Calibre installs its own version of the libraries, which is not the same as the system's and is not compatible with recoll. The common way to use a separate version of the libraries is to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable before executing the app, so that's probably what the Calibre package does. I would try to reset this as part of the Popen call (there is an 'env' named variable defined in there to do just this). See http://docs.python.org/2/library/sub...bprocess.Popen

By setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to an empty value, recoll should access the standard system libs.

Without trying, I can't be 100% sure that's this is going to work, but it's probably in the right direction.

Cheers,

jf

Jeah, thanks, it was this variable I had to change to make it work. Now the plugin works and I only just have to do some cosmetics on it.

Glad it worked.

If you want to do anything a bit fancier than retrieving the URLs in the future (snippets?), and as you are already using Python, you'd probably be better off using the recoll Python module, it will be much easier than parsing command line output.

Use the SanitizeLibraryPath class from calibre.gui2.__init__
