I have created a C application and built it as a C-Shared library .so. The C application contains reference to ZMQ library. To generate the shared library I tried following steps:
1) I wrote a C application ZMQInterface.c with a header file ZMQInterface.h
2) Built the application as C-shared library
[varun@localhost zmqproj]$ gcc -c -Wall -Werror -I/usr/local/include/ -L/usr/local/lib -lzmq -fpic ZMQInterface.c
[varun@localhost zmqproj]$ gcc -shared -o ZMQInterface.so ZMQInterface.o
The shared library ZMQInterface.so was generated successfully
When I tried to load it in MATLAB using loadlibrary() I am getting the following error. I have attached the files (zmqproj.zip)
>> [status,warn] = loadlibrary('ZMQInterface.so','ZMQInterface.h');
Error loading library intermediate output follows.
The actual error is at the end of this output.

Try 2 :
Then I tried removing the __attribute__ ((visibility ("default"))) then compiled and loaded. But I am getting following error then
