I have an .so file created, nm command shows "no symbols found" for this .so file, and I am linking against this .so file, my program uses some functions from this .so file, linking is successfully done, but, on runtime, my program crashes, because of "symbols not found" error.
Can someone hint me at, what could be the problem here?

That does sound pretty broken - have you checked some of the /lib or /usr/lib .so files to see if they are the same?
What does "file mine.so" say about the files?

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.
Mats, other libs may or may not have symbols, eg:
and output of file command is:Code:nm: /lib/libc-2.5.so: no symbols
Edit: my .so file is libphapi.soCode:file libphapi.so libphapi.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped
Try dumping the file with "objdump -tT" instead. If still no symbols appear, then your .so is borked somehow.Originally Posted by manav

Also, what does "objdump -x" display?
Thanks Mats, brewbuck!
It was not obvious, but, after sometime I found, that for my program runtime, wrong version of .so file was being exported.
FIXED.
