errno: TLS definition in /lib64/libc.so.6 section .tbss mismatches non-TLS reference
 

Hi.

Running Suse10.1 on an x86_64 machine. Trying to install a program in vain. The program is called ms2sac. It's used to convert between two specific formats (miniseed & SAC) used to store seismic data.

The ms2sac program requires qlib2 stuff. Here is the relevant part of the Makefile:

########################################################################
TARGET = ms2sac

SRCS = $(TARGET).c read_mseed_data.c get_stn_evt_info.c \
init_sac_header.c write_sac.c

OBJS = $(SRCS:%.c=%.o)

COORD_FILE = \"/usr/contrib/data/bdsn/bdsn.coord\"
IQLIB2 = -I../qlib2
QLIB2 = ../qlib2/libqlib2.a
LIBS = $(QLIB2) -lm

.PRECIOUS: $(QLIB2)

BINDIR = /usr/local/bin
MANDIR = /usr/local/man
MANEXT = 1

CC = cc
COPT = -g
CFLAGS = $(COPT) $(IQLIB2) -DDEFAULT_COORD_FILE=$(COORD_FILE)

######################################################################

I haven't set the COORD_FILE path yet but don't think this has any bearing on the error message that I'm getting...

The complete error message is as shown below, and I have no idea what it means. I'm still very much a newbie when it comes to this stuff - rubbish debugging skills! Google isn't helping me out too much either.

Any suggestions would be very welcome!
Thanks a lot.

remove int errno decl
 

In the code I was compiling, the following line was the offender:

extern int errno;

I replaced this line with #include <errno.h>
and the problem went away.

Yep, that worked for iptotal as well.

Thank you very much codedr.
