RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Robert Szabo 2018-09-12 21:50:19 UTC
Description of problem:

The compat-libgfortran-41-4.1.2-44 library providing libgfortran.so.1 does not link against libquadmath.so.0 (the DSO providing the <func>q named symbols):

$ nm -D /lib64/libgfortran.so.1 | grep sqrtq
                 U csqrtq
                 U sqrtq
$ objdump -p /lib64/libgfortran.so.1 | grep NEEDED
  NEEDED libm.so.6
  NEEDED libc.so.6

$ ldd /lib64/libgfortran.so.1
        linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffc5b1cf000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007fdd39c9e000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fdd398d1000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fdd3a289000)

therefore legacy applications (built on Red Hat 5) fail to load. The example to reproduce the issue is quite specific to our business, please excuse that.

I haven't been able to find a better way to show the problem but that is only because of my total lack of knowledge of Fortran and how it works.

We have some legacy applications embedded in a stack of software that we would like to run on Red Hat 7.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Latest: 4.1.2-44

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Prerequisites:
* gcc 4.1.2 - vanilla build on Red Hat 6 or system gcc on Red Hat 5
* python 2.6.4 - vanilla build from source code with above gcc 4.1.2
* atlas 3.8.4 vanilla build compiled with above gcc 4.1.2
* Numpy 1.7.1 source code

Steps:
* Build numpy 1.7.1 (with atlas support) built with gcc 4.1.2 on Redhat 5 or 6
$ python2.6 setup.py build

* Try to import lapack_lite.so on the build machine. It works.
$ cd <build-dir>/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6
$ python2.6 -c 'import numpy.linalg.lapack_lite'
$ (no import error - success)

* Importing it on Red Hat 7
$ cd <build-dir>/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6
$ env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PYTHON26DIR/lib $PYTHON26DIR/bin/python -c 'import numpy.linalg.lapack_lite'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /lib64/libgfortran.so.1: undefined symbol: sqrtq

Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:

To fix the issue, I've rebuilt compat-libgfortran-41 with "-lquadmath" explicitly added to LDFLAGS. The resulting libgfortran.so.1 had the correct linkage and no python import error occurred.

Alternatively, LD_PRELOAD'ing libquadmath.so.0 also works.

Comment 9 Alexandra Petlanová Hájková 2019-06-02 08:58:40 UTC
I verified make check-gfortran on RHEL-5 works properly with the libgfortran.so.1 built from sources with compat-libgfortran-41 on RHEL7 as suggested at comment#5. Also I checked compat-libgfortran-41-4.1.2-45.el7.x86_64.rpm contains csqrtq and sqrtq symbols and compat-libgfortran-41-4.1.2-45.el7.x86_64.rpm does not contain them.
