Re: Cannot load library *.so undefined symbol error

We need more information here.  It is clear that, however you are 
building, the resulting shared library has symbol problems and cannot
resolve those symbols when it is loaded by OpenPegasus.  The errors 
themselves are probably coming from the loader when it
tries to load the shared library as a provider. Pegasus is largely just 
interpreting information that is being returned by the loader.

Obviously, at least the symbol *CIMSoftwareIdentityBuldier *is expected 
to be linked as part of the load and it does not exist

By the way, did you mean to have Builder mispelled as buldier???

Some questions:
1. OS your are building on
2. Tools you use to build your provider.
3. Language you are writing provider in and interface uses (C++, CMPI, 
etc.).
4. Compiler used and the cmd line options with which you are compiling 
the library.

It is hard to dig to deep without looking further are your code and 
exactly what the environment is.

There should be no problems in this are with OpenPegasus so lets leave 
that out.  Loading providers has been

In general, I suggest that restart with very basic provider version that 
copies some other providercode that uses same tools compiler, etc. but 
does almost nothing, just loads.  It could even just return 
NOT_SUPPORTED for every function.  This will confirm that you
can get the basics to load and with your provider name, etc.

So rather than try to debug this code itself, recreate just the very 
basics of the provider and make  that successfully load.  No matter
which of the above options you use, there should be an example you could 
borrow and create the basics in a couple of hours.

Then go back to your provider and fix it up to match what does load but 
with the full set of provider app.
