Re: Guile not running properly on GNU/Hurd

[Gabriel Schnoering]

Hi,

As was discussed on irc, I investigated a bit deeper the issue.

First I compiled libgc-7.2d

./configure
make
make check

All tests passed ! (which was not the case with guile-2.0.7)

But make install failed for --prefix in the user ~/devel/libgc directory
(see hurdlibgcinstall)


Anyway I ran meta/gdb-uninstalled-guile from the 2.0.7 build dir and
went a bit further with gdb, the log is attached as 'hurdguilereplfail3'.

Always with meta/gdb-uninstalled-guile, there seem to be no error to run
some code by direcly evaluating the expression.

(gdb) r -c '(display "hello!")'
Starting program: /home/bubu/devel/guile-2.0.7/libguile/.libs/lt-guile
-c '(display "hello!")'
[New Thread 8566.14]

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x011ac1ad in GC_find_limit_with_bound () from /usr/lib/libgc.so.1
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
hello![Inferior 1 (bogus thread id 0) exited normally]
(gdb)

Afterwards I installed libc0.3-dbg and ran it another time, result is
attached in 'hurdguilereplfail4'.

For the moment I didn't build guile-2.0.7 with the new libgc (7.2d) version.
I will give it more trial tomorrow and let you know.

Regards,

Gabriel Schnoering
