I ran into the segfault described in the mailing list entry above. After erlang compiled successfully it would never run, segfaulting every time. When I added --disable-hipe to the configure script the segfaults stopped. I don't know what specifically about my installation causes this, so here's my emerge --info: Portage 2.0.53 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 i586) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 i586 AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 distcc 2.18.3 i586-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k6-2 -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control /var/run/dspam /var/spool/dspam" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=k6-2 -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distcc distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/gentoo http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X alsa aotuv apache2 apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cli crypt curl curlwrappers dba eds emboss encode exim expat fam follow-xff foomaticdb ftp gd gif gmp gstreamer gtk gtk2 idn imagemagick imap imlib inode ipv6 java jpeg justify kde lcms ldap libg++ libwww lmtp mad maildir mailwrapper matroska matrox mcal md5sum mhash mikmod mmx mng motif mp3 mpeg mpm-prefork ncurses neural nls nptl odbc ogg oggvorbis oss pam passfile pcre pdflib pear perl php png postgres python quicktime readline session spell ssl tcltk tcpd theora threads tidy truetype truetype-fonts type1 type1-fonts udev unicode vorbis xml xml2 xmms xsl zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
Hi Chris. Thanks for a report and sorry about a delay - there isn't really any dev specifically supporting erlang at the moment unfortunately (I am just trying to keep an eye on "alternative development stuff" when I can spend some time away from my "main" topics). 1. What erlang version is this? Thanks for posting emerge --info, but could you please be more specific about the erlang? 2. Do you still hit this, with few glibc updates happening since then? I added mkennedy and vapier to CC, as they seem to have been dealing with this package the most lately.. Matthew, Mike: can you please add yourself to lang-misc herd, probably specifying the <role> as well, so that you will see the bugs on erlang (as bug-wranglers apparently simply assigned this to the first herd mentioned in metadata)? Downgrading the severity, since critical really is for system packaged and wide and severe breakage.. George
I have the same problem, and I hope I can answer your questions: 1. I am running dev-lang/erlang-10.2.5 but I have also seen it with 10.2.10 2. It is still a problem for me. I am running sys-libs/glibc-2.3.5-r3 USE="nls -build -erandom -glibc-compat20 -glibc-omitfp -hardened -linuxthreads-tls -nptl -nptlonly -pic -profile -userlocales I can also report that adding "--disable-hipe" to the ebuild seems to hide or temporarily solve the problem tux> diff /usr/portage/dev-lang/erlang/erlang-10.2.5.ebuild /usr/local/portage/dev-lang/erlang/erlang-10.2.5.ebuild 46a47 > --disable-hipe \ I have seen some indications that this problem is only reproducible on 2.4 kernels, but I am running 2.6.16 tux> uname -a Linux tux 2.6.16-gentoo-r1 #3 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 10 20:17:38 CEST 2006 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 1.30GHz GNU/Linux BR /Fredrik
Does this still exist with the current unstable?
This is fixed in dev-lang/erlang-11.2.1
all needed arches are stable now, I introduced a hipe USE flag in erlang 11.2.2 which enables hipe...if you do so, it may break -> no complaints to me.
