crc creating error and aborting compilation

The associated app such as sniffer and simple_rohc_program compiled during build seems to work without any error. But any new code of using rohc library creating this assertion error. What needs to be done in order to rectify?? Any valuable suggestion..

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

Hello,

What version of the ROHC library to you use? Is it 1.6.1 as shown in the paths?

Do you call the rohc_crc_get_polynom() function directly in your code? If yes, what is the value of the first parameter?

Regards,
Didier

Hi Didier,

I am using the same 1.6.1 library only as you mentioned. I tried to compile the program "simple_rohc_program.c" which was already there in lib folder of rohc-1.6.1 which resulted in this error. i didnt used any rohc_crc_get_polynom( ) in my code.

Hi,

I have just compiled the simple_rohc_program. It works fine. Please copy/paste the
code from the file "rohctest.c" on http://pastebin.com/ so I can look at it.

In addition, could you please test with the latest version 1.7.0 as follow:
$ wget http://rohc-lib.org/download/rohc-1.7.x/1.7.0/rohc-1.7.0.tar.xz
$ tar -xJf rohc-1.7.0.tar.xz
$ cd rohc-1.7.0/
$ ./configure --enable-examples
$ make all
$ ./examples/simple_rohc_program

Regards,
Didier

Hi,
      I already mentioned that(second comment on 2014-10-15) during the initial build, simple_rohc_program.o file is created for simple_rohc_program.c and seems to execute successfully .But, when I modify the program simple_rohc_program.c or when I try to use the library for my own program using the command "gcc -o mytest $(pkg-config rohc --cflags) mytest.c $(pkg-config --libs)" its creating that error.

Hi,

Hello,

Your program builds and works fine with both library 1.6.1 and 1.7.0. Building it emits many deprecation warnings, but it builds nevertheless.

My best hypothesis is that you have an old version of the ROHC library installed on your system. Please run the following commands to try to discover it:
$ pkg-config rohc --modversion
$ ls -l /usr/lib/librohc*
$ ls -l /usr/lib64/librohc*
$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/librohc*
$ ls -l /usr/local/lib64/librohc*
$ ls -l /usr/include/rohc*
$ ls -l /usr/local/include/rohc*

Regards,
Didier

Hello,

You have 2 instances of the ROHC library installed. The best thing to do is removing both of them, then re-install the latest (1.7.0 version).

Remove instance from /usr (run commands as root or with sudo)
$ rm -rf /usr/lib/librohc*
$ rm -rf /usr/include/rohc*
$ rm -rf /usr/lib/pkgconfig/rohc.pc

Remove instance from /usr/local (run commands as root or with sudo)
$ rm -rf /usr/local/lib/librohc*
$ rm -rf /usr/local/include/rohc*
$ rm -rf /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/rohc.pc

Then, install version 1.7.0:
$ wget http://rohc-lib.org/download/rohc-1.7.x/1.7.0/rohc-1.7.0.tar.xz
$ tar -xJf rohc-1.7.0.tar.xz
$ cd rohc-1.7.0/
$ ./configure --enable-examples --prefix=/usr
$ make all
$ make install

Finally, try again to build your program.

Regards,
Didier

Hi,
      Thanks Didier, it worked....
