[LLVMdev] "symbol lookup error" while running a Simple Loop Pass

[Carlos Sánchez de La Lama]

Hi,

this is probably related to the reported bug:

http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=13144

You have two possible solutions:
1) add KEEP_SYMBOLS := 1 to opt Makefile and recompile OR
2) used a shared build of LLVM

BR

PD: If you are uing OSX, the problem might be slightly more complex.
Look at my mail which is linked at the end of the bug report.
