[DynInst_API:] Error: Dyninst unable to load the dyninst runtime library into the application

[Sebastian Banescu <banescu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've encountered the following error while running the retee.C sample
application given in Appendix A of the DyninstAPI manual:

Attaching to process 2232...
--SERIOUS-- #0: Dyninst was unable to load the dyninst runtime library
into the application. This may be caused by statically linked
executables, or by having dyninst linked against a different version of
libelf than it was built with.
--FATAL-- #68: Dyninst was unable to attach to the specified process
--FATAL-- #68: src\BPatch.C[1040]: no process 2232 defined in procsByPid

This error seems to have also been encountered on RHL a few months ago
according to this bug post:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1005892

My host OS is: Win 7 32-bit

Steps to reproduce the error:
* Download and install DyninstAPI 8.1.2 via MSI installer
* Set environment variables:
  * DYNINST_LIB to value C:\Program Files\Paradyn\Dyninst\lib
  * DYNINSTAPI_RT_LIB to value %DYNINST_LIB%\DyninstAPI_RT.dll
* Download and unpack current Boost release 1.55.0
* Copy the boost folder (sources/header files) to C:\Program
Files\Paradyn\Dyninst\include\ (otherwise later compilation step fails
because boost headers are missing)
* Create a new empty C++ project in VisualStudio 2013
* Copy retee.c code from Appendix A into a new .cpp file
* Set Additional Include Directories to include C:\Program
Files\Paradyn\Dyninst\include\
* Set Additional Library Dependencies to include C:\Program
Files\Paradyn\Dyninst\lib\
* Added Linker > Additional Dependencies: dyninstAPI.lib, dbghelp.lib
* Build and run retee.exe <pid> <output-filename> on running process (in
my case this process was calc.exe)

I'm a new to Dyninst, so I would appreciate any constructive suggestion,
that would help me overcome this error.

Thanks,
Sebastian
