pyopencl import error cffi.so undefined symbol

问题

I successfully installed the pyopencl but I am getting an import error. I am stuck here and unable to progress further. Any help would be much appreciated

回答1:

The problem is the the dual ABI in libstdc++ with gcc5.1 for std::string and std::list. Anaconda now installs libstdc++.so.6.0.19 (presumably because they've added a Python package with a C++ library) from gcc 4.8.3 and pre dual ABI where as Ubuntu 16.04 comes with gcc 5.4 and libstdc++.6.0.21. When you build pyopencl it builds and links against your system libstdc++ but when you try to import pyopencl it dynamically links against the Anaconda one and fails to find the symbols.

It should be possible to solve this by adding -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 to the CXXFLAGS list in the pyopencl siteconf.py. That solves the std::string issue but has other missing symbols:

ImportError: /home/cryan/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pyopencl-2016.2.1-py3.6-linux-x86_64.egg/pyopencl/_cffi.abi3.so: undefined symbol: _ZNSt6thread15_M_start_threadESt10shared_ptrINS_10_Impl_baseEEPFvvE

Your options are:

Install gcc from Anaconda (conda install gcc) and build pyopencl using that. Unfortunately if you have Anaconda on your PATH you'll use their gcc everywhere.
Just delete/rename the libstdc++ in ~/anaconda3/lib: cd ~/anaconda3/lib; mv libstdc++.so libstdc++.annoying; mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.annoying.6. Python modules will find your system one which should be backwards compatible.

I'm having the exact same issue.

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04, using the libOpenCL.so in AMDAPPSDK-3.0. I am able to run some of the OpenCL examples included with this SDK, so I believe this is a pyopencl issue.
