ALWAYS UPGRADE THE CURRENT VERSION TO SOLVE BUGS IN ANY PACKAGE

Thanks

Jose



I had look for the problem by using google.
I had read about this issue all day long and also I `ve already updated glibc to :

glibc-headers-2.3.5-0.fc3.1
glibc-common-2.3.5-0.fc3.1
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.87
glibc-2.3.5-0.fc3.1
glibc-devel-2.3.5-0.fc3.1

BUT , I still have the same problem when compiling.
(All of the other packages remain the same as default when installing a Fedora Core 3)

Any help will be apreciated!

I forgot t say I`m using :

gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.2/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-java-awt=gtk --host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)

uname -a
Linux josed.isoft.com.ar 2.6.9-1.667 #1 Tue Nov 2 14:41:25 EST 2004 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

I am also having the same problem, running Fedora Core 4 , gcc 4.0, glibc 2.3.5.

After searching about this I came to know that I have to install another version of glibc like 2.3.4 / 3 or have to find patch for 2.3.5. But I could not locate that patch, can anybody please show me the link?

If there is any way to overwrite/downgrade the current installation of glibc (2.3.5) with glibc (2.3.4) through YUM then please let me know.

Thanks

This is not a bug in glibc. It's a memory deallocation error in the program you're trying to compile and run.

You might be deallocating the memory we had not be allocated before or vice versa...

char *p;
p= (char *) malloc(sizeof("no error"));
p="no error";
free(p);

will work while,

char * p = (char *) malloc (sizeof("no error");
char a[]= "no error";
p = a;
free(p);
wont work.

array is in stack and malloc is in heap. when u say p = a; it shifts to the address of array, which cannot be free()d.

2005-2009?

What happend here?
