Issue
Description
It appears that the RoboStack package ros2-spatio-temporal-voxel-layer 2.7.0 was built against OpenVDB 13.1, while its package metadata allows installation with OpenVDB 13.2. This results in an ABI mismatch.
Steps to reproduce
- Create environment with the following
pixi.toml:
[workspace]
name = "stvl-openvdb-reproducer"
channels = ["robostack-lyrical", "conda-forge"]
platforms = ["linux-64"]
[dependencies]
ros2-spatio-temporal-voxel-layer = "*"- Check which OpenVDB version the STVL library was linked against:
readelf -d .pixi/envs/default/lib/libspatio_temporal_voxel_layer_core.so | grep NEEDED. Observelibopenvdb.so.13.1 - Check the installed OpenVDB package:
pixi list | grep openvdb. Observeopenvdb 13.2.0 - Check runtime library resolution:
ldd .pixi/envs/default/lib/libspatio_temporal_voxel_layer_core.so | grep openvdb. Observelibopenvdb.so.13.1 => not found
Additional information
The package metadata declares openvdb >=13.1.0,<14.0a0 (see output of pixi search ros2-spatio-temporal-voxel-layer).
However, the binary appears to require OpenVDB 13.1 specifically.
Creating a symlink from libopenvdb.so.13.1 to libopenvdb.so.13.2 removes the loader error but results in undefined symbol:*_ZN7openvdb*v13_110initializeEv which suggests an ABI incompatibility between OpenVDB 13.1 and 13.2.
Workaround
Pinning OpenVDB to 13.1.x resolves the issue:

openvdb = "13.1.*"pixi list output

Looks like an issue on OpenVDB feedstock. We need to change the run exports to pin minor version there and open a conda-forge admin request to patch the repodata of existing packages. Are you ok to give this a go?

Yes, I will have a look at the OpenVDB feedstock and prepare a PR if that is the expected fix.
