Mac OS X 10.8.2 and QuantLib

Hi!

I’m a total newbie in QuantLib. I’m just trying to install it on my Mac OS X 10.8.2-powered MacBook Air.

I think I’ve followed thoroughly all the instructions reported here, and yet I’m unable to compile almost anything. I mean: I can successfully compile the contents of the “Examples” directory, but that’s it: all the other cpp file will return me an error, which is:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

“start”, referenced from:

start in crt1.10.6 o

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Now, the bigger task I’m trying to accomplish is: using QuantLib on R, the statistical software, through the RQuantLib and the Rcpp packages. As I’m failing to do that, I’ve tried to compile the zerocouponbond.cpp file – indeed, ZeroCouponBond is the function part of the RQuantLib package I’m striving to use, so I thought I’d better try compiling zerocouponbond.cpp first.

Despite my R attempts, so limiting myself to QuantLib, I’m unable to compile zerocouponbond.cpp.

I’ve really run out of ideas. I’ve re-installed everything several times to no avail, and I’m really worried since I need this stuff to run on my computer in the shortest possible time.

I’d be so thankful to anyone wishing to provide me with some solution.

Thank you so much for your support.

Re: Mac OS X 10.8.2 and QuantLib

If you were able to run through the instructions on the page you linked to - and in particular if "make && sudo make install" ran successfully, you have in fact already compiled zerocouponbond.cpp, and all of the other individual cpp files in the library. That command sets all the right parameters, including in theory the right symbols to fix the error you described, and then creates a single large quantlib library binary file that it installs in a systemwide location - in my case, /usr/local/lib/libQuantLib.a

As long as that's on your include path, you should be able to compile c++ code that relies on QuantLib, which is why you're able to make the examples - they're written to take advantage of the binary library that, it seems, has been successfully compiled and installed.

I'm unfamiliar with RQuantLib and RCpp but given where it sounds like you are in the process, if you're having trouble with those two at this point I would first look to see that they're attempting to load the compiled library from the right place - that is, that they have, for example, /usr/local/lib (if that's where your system has put it) in their include path.

Re: Mac OS X 10.8.2 and QuantLib

Hi Matthew,

Thank you so much for you quick answer!

I realized I didn't specify I'm a total newbie in Mac OS X, too. I'm coming from Windows, so everything looks new to me. So, I'm sorry if I'm asking stupid questions.

On my computer, the folder /usr/local/lib does exist, but doesn't contain the libQuantLib.a file, unfortunately. Now, I have two questions:

Is it possible to set the path where I want my libQuantLib.a file to be stored? If yes, how can I do that?
So, as I happened to understand, is it normal I'm not able to compile zerocouponbond.cpp?

Again, I'm so sorry to bother you with these silly questions; but I would like to undertand more, and thus I'm asking. I've of course already tried to Google for more information but, again, I was unable to find a proper answer.

Thank you so much for your support and, please, keep answering me if you manage to!

Best,

Giovanni Ferretti

Hi Giovanni,
with what command line are you trying to compile the flie?
It seems like you're trying to link as an executable a file that
doesn't define a main() function.

Files such as zerocouponbond.cpp are not meant to be compiled in
isolation, but as part of a library--and in fact, you already compiled
it when you built QuantLib. The fact that you're able to compile the
examples (and run them, I guess?) indicates that you've installed
QuantLib correctly, and the errors are probably just due to the fact
that you're compiling the wrong kind of file.

I'd try to go forward and compile the R package.

Later,
Luigi

Re: Mac OS X 10.8.2 and QuantLib

In reply to this post by Giovanni Ferretti-2

Dear Matthew,

I've finally located my libQuantLib.a file in /opt/local/lib

Nevertheless, I'd still be grateful if you could explain me:

How can I set the path where libQuantLib.a is stored?
Is it normal I get these errors when trying to compile zerocouponbond.cpp?

I was thinking: maybe I *think* I've correctly run the make && sudo make install, but in fact I haven't? I mean, I could see no errors whatsoever, but maybe I'm too dumb to see them?

Thank you for your time!

Giovanni Ferretti

Re: Mac OS X 10.8.2 and QuantLib

In reply to this post by Luigi Ballabio

Dear Luigi,

You gave me some valuable help here, really. I know nothing about C, C++, programming... Indeed, I'm more interested in R and using QuantLib in R by means of RQuantLib and Rcpp. This means I don't precisely know what a cpp file is. I'm so sorry to sound stupid, but that's it!

So, are you saying that I cannot use g++ to compile zerocouponbond.cpp? Because the syntax I'm using is:

g++ zerocouponbond.cpp -o zerocouponbond -L/opt/include/lib -lQuantLib

And the error I get I've already posted here. So, is it normal?

Thank you all for your support!

It should be in /opt/local/lib if you followed the instructions. You
can specify where you want to put the library and the header files
when you run configure; run ,/configure --help and look for the
--prefix, --libdir and --includedir options.

And yes, it's normal that you can't link zerocouponbond.cpp since it
lacks a main(). (In fact, you are compiling it---judging by the error,
it's the linker that fails.)

Re: Mac OS X 10.8.2 and QuantLib

Ok, great then, it seems that at least I was able to install QuantLib correctly, then.

Now, I guess I cannot find anyone knowledgeable about RQuantLib? Because now it seems clear that the problem has to do with RQuantLib (or Rcpp).

When I try to run ZeroCouponBond from within R, copying and pasting the exmaple provided in the official RQautnLib documentation (so that I'm sure I'm not making any syntax mistakes), I get the following error:

Error in DiscountCurve.default(discountCurve.param, list(flat=0.05)) : cannot find function "errorOccured"

But maybe this is a little out of topic and I should post somewhere else? At least this: can anyone here confirm that this has to do with R, Rcpp RQuantLib and all the R-related stuff and *not* with QuantLib itself?

Thank you to anyone helping me!

Re: Mac OS X 10.8.2 and QuantLib

That looks like an R error. I don't know if there's a forum for
RQuantLib, but I think that Dirk Eddelbuettel still reads this one.
Dirk, are you there?

R: Mac OS X 10.8.2 and QuantLib

I haven't used RQuantLib, but I've worked with R and I'd guess the missing function "errorOccured" might be part of some R library that you must load in your R session before pasting the example code (if that's the case, it ought to be written somewhere in the documentation). Another possibility is that there's a misspelling, because as far as I know, "occurred" should have two R.
