Re: [igraph] Re: shared library error

[sergiu netotea]

Hi, I already solved the problem. It wasn't igraph related anymore so
Tamas took it off from the mailing list. The problem was that Cygwin
is still case insensitive, and I had a file variable initialized with
"Pop_edl.txt", when the actual
filename was "pop_edl.txt". For some silly reason I did not caught the
file not found error, although I usually do that.
The bit of code i posted was extracted in a haste, what really caused
the error is this:

#include <igraph.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define F1 "Pop_edl.txt"
#define NG1 13633

int main()
{
    long int ng1 = NG1;
    igraph_bool_t dir = IGRAPH_DIRECTED; //graph is directed
    igraph_t g1;
    FILE *ifile;
    ifile=fopen(F1, "r");
    igraph_read_graph_edgelist(&g1,ifile,ng1,dir);
    fclose(ifile);
    printf("Done reading files!\n");
        return 0;
}

Perhaps igraph should have a way of telling if the file was not opened
correctly although igraph cannot replace a programmer's bad practice.

Thanks,
Sergiu
