Failed to load library /opt/ros/humble/lib/liboctomap_rviz_plugins.so

[mmcza]

Hi, I was using the plugin for rviz that I installed using apt-get install ros-humble-octomap-rviz-plugins. It was working until I rebuilt the docker image last week (the previous docker image was over a month old). Now I get a following error:

ColorOccupancyGrid
The class required for this display, 'octomap_rviz_plugins/ColorOccupancyGrid', could not be loaded.
Error:
Failed to load library /opt/ros/humble/lib/liboctomap_rviz_plugins.so. Make sure that you are calling the PLUGINLIB_EXPORT_CLASS macro in the library code, and that names are consistent between this macro and your XML. Error string: Could not load library dlopen error: /opt/ros/humble/lib/liboctomap_rviz_plugins.so: undefined symbol: _ZTIN7octomap13OcTreeStampedE, at ./src/shared_library.c:99

I saw a similar issue here but there it was resolved as there was some update. I did what was mentioned in that issue, but resourcing and reinstalling didn't fix the problem.

Here is response I got from ldd /opt/ros/humble/lib/liboctomap_rviz_plugins.so (it was mentioned in that issue to send the information)

Thank you @aosmw . The workaround is working

@mmcza Are you able to reopen this issue? The real fix will require this PR #49 and a re-release.

The Problem

When selecting any of the octomap occupancy grid displays (e.g. OccupancyGrid), loading the plugin fails with the following error message from rviz:

[ERROR] [1724688835.264146998] [rviz2]: PluginlibFactory: The plugin for class 'octomap_rviz_plugins/OccupancyGrid' failed to load. Error: Failed to load library /home/docker/ros_ws/install/octomap_rviz_plugins/lib/liboctomap_rviz_plugins.so. Make sure that you are calling the PLUGINLIB_EXPORT_CLASS macro in the library code, and that names are consistent between this macro and your XML. Error string: Could not load library dlopen error: /home/docker/ros_ws/install/octomap_rviz_plugins/lib/liboctomap_rviz_plugins.so: undefined symbol: _ZTIN7octomap13OcTreeStampedE, at ./src/shared_library.c:99

So, I figure it doesn't link against the lib in which this symbol is defined; Probably, the main octomap lib.

The fix?

I managed to fix the problem by adding find_package(octomap REQUIRED) to the CMakeLists.txt. After re-building my workspace, I can add the rviz display without getting error output from rviz.

@Cakem1x does the change in PR #49 also work for you?

[Cakem1x]

Yes, your fix also works for my setup. Nice!

I suspect the octomap target comes from liboctomap-dev, in the package.xml. So it should be there after running rosdep for all compatible systems 👍 .

I think my fix works because finding octomap populates the ${OCTOMAP_LIBRARIES} cmake variable, so it basically ends up doing the same thing as your fix.
I am unclear about linking against octomap works with your solution, without finding it via find_package(octomap) first. Do you know why this works?

[aosmw]

It works because of ament_auto_find_build_dependencies() at the top of the file. It knows how to read the package.xml and call find_package() on the listed dependencies and constructs targets that can be used in target_link_libraries.

Follow this rabbit hole. https://github.com/ament/ament_cmake/blob/4c630d4c36af09e8a426ef5c1fbc8850f656019c/ament_cmake_auto/cmake/ament_auto_find_build_dependencies.cmake
