malloc() error on startup with RC8 RPM under FC3
« on: February 10, 2005, 01:01:59 PM »

Hi all,

I've been using the amule rc7 for sometime without problem, and I just downloaded and installed amule-2.0.0-0.rc8.3.1.fc3.fr.i386.rpm from freshrpms.org

Alas, when I start amule, I get a malloc error:

Code: [Select]
$ amule
Initialising aMule
Userhash loaded: 56DF22E1E20E9E8E99530780D17F6FA7
*** UDP socket at 4668
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0ae66228 ***
Aborted

Anyone else seen this?

I am using Core 3 with the 2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp kernel.

I have (temporarily I hope) gone back to RC7.

Ezeltje,

I have never seen this before. Can you please post here the result of
$ rpm -qa | grep -i wx
$ rpm -qa | grep -i amule

Cheers!

ok,
Code: [Select]
$ rpm -qa | grep -i wx
wxBase-2.4.2-1
wxGTK-2.4.2-1
wxGTK-devel-2.4.2-1

the following may not be so useful though, since I have since rolled back to rc7, which works fine with the above
Code: [Select]
$ rpm -qa | grep -i amule
aMule-2.0.0-rc7_fc2
HTH

Did you try the rpm in our home page? Here:
http://www.amule.org/files/files.php?cat=15

Use only the original :D

Seriously, if you can, compile yourself a recent CVS tarball, there are many bug fixes, it is really great. Or wait for final 2.0.0.

Cheers!

Ok, I downloaded and compiled the tarball from yesterday and that runs fine. No malloc() errors  :D

I look forward to version 2 -- aMule is an awesome program!
