Crashes on OpenBSD
« on: May 02, 2004, 09:14:49 AM »
First, I'm a new user, so Hi everybody !

I've installed 1.2.6 but aMule crashed everytime with core dump.
So I tried to install rc2 which needs libcrypto.
First problem: in the HowTo it is said to run make (gmake for me) then make install && ld config. But when I ran gmake install, it said "don't know how to do with install" ... So install of rc2 was still saying its lack of libcrypto.
I finally made a directory "cryptopp" under my crypto-5.1 source directory and copy all the files from this source directory, and then ran ./configure --with-crypto-prefix=/usr/local/src/crypto-5.1.

aMule rc2 then compiled without any problem.
I launched it and it worked perfectly for ~12 hours then it crashed and I can't run it agan since it crashes all the time with :

Serverlist loaded.
*** reading servers
Save ServerCount = 48 /0x30/
Saved ServerCount endian = 48 /0x30/
Loading temp files from /root/.aMule/Temp/*.part.met.

OOPS! - Seems like aMule crashed
--== no BACKTRACE yet


Anyone have a solution ?
I saw croaker was openbsd dev and fa² is a user under openbsd, maybe one of them can help me ?
Thanks
Mars

well, when such problems happen, the best is to rename ~/.aMule and ~/.eMule and restart aMule. Then, if it works, try to rename back to the original names file-by-file so you know which file is failing.
Anyway, v2-RC3 is out and is incredibly-far-much-less buggy than RC2, so I guess you should try with RC3 rather than with Rc2 (and, btw, it comes with full OpenBSD support). Alos, you'll benefit from the rewritten net code, which is far much quicker on transfering than RC2.
So, conclusion, compile rc3 ;-)
Greetings.

full support for openbsd, but still I had to add FREEBSD in src/amule.cpp :)
Its kind of misleading for newbies

hehehe, yes. But you're problem is that amule.cpp is set to work on OpenBSD not FreeBSD. Mars is on OpenBSD, so he has no problems ;-P
Your bug report was filed as MULT.20, I guess it'll be done in RC4 (I'd better say, I'M ALMOST SURE ;-) )

Greetings and thanx for reporting the fix, not only the bug.

great !:)

I thought it was reported with RC2 version, but its understood some minor problems may vanish when fixing real bugs. :)

Anyway, great job. RC3 is doing extremely fine on my box !

Some news ... I tried to restart amule again and again ... and it started
I think I have the same problem fa² experienced (http://www.amule.org/amule/thread.php?threadid=1208&sid=&hilight=openbsd)

I have to remove all incoming files in order to restart amule when it crashes. I think amule crashes everytime it completes a download ...
And to stay on the servers page, as fa² said before, doesn't help ...

Before compiling RC2, I tried to compile RC3 but it didn't work. I remember there was a problem with gd during compilation and I didn't have this problem compiling RC2 ...

Jacobo, did you experience that kind of crashes and are they fixed by RC3 ?
If they are, I will try again to compile RC3 ...
( But I fear not to be able to compile RC2 again if I uninstall it  ;( )

Thanks for your help

RC3 has lots of fixes. I really mean LOTS. I suggest you to upgrade. Check RC2 Known Bugs list to see all RC2 bugs which have been fixed... and those aren't all the fixed bugs! Also, new features on RC3 and a highly increased transfer speed. Just upgrade :-P
About your fear... Just don't unsinstall RC2. Unless you do "make install" (or "gmake install" or whatever), your amule binnaries won't be overwritten. So, try compiling, no fear. If it fails, no prob ;-) Try being verbose on what the compilatoin problem is and someone will try to help you.
Nothing to thank, in fact, thanks to you ;-)
Greetings!

Thanks, I'll try to compile RC3 tonight ...

Just one more question, how do you "just upgrade" ?
Do you mean compiling RC3 without uninstalling RC2, and if it works, then running make install ? Or does it exist any kind of upgrade process in RC3 ?
