Vegastrike crashes on launch

Hello,

I have just upgraded my OS from OpenSUSE 11.3 to 13.2. I recompiled vegastrike from the source code, and that seemed to work. When I launch it, however, it crashes out with the following output:

Code: Select all

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 678: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!
I think it's the "RT_CONSISTENT' failed!" bit at the end that's most significant, but I have DuckDuckGo'ed it and found nothing that seems applicable to my situation. Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you!

Hello !
I made a search with " Assertion `...r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed! " and it seem to me that this is a bug in OpenSuse , after the reading of few threads that reports about
that error in redhat too . They say that redhat had it too , it's a problem with threading creation and release in a process , or around that .

You have an exemple or case to refer to for example at that page :
https://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/sho ... gi?id=4578

But i'm a windows system user only , i can't talk by experience in your case .
What is the VS release number your are building ?
Sources are from the SVN ?

I'm using 0.5.1-r1. I don't remember where I got the source code. It's the same source file I downloaded probably a year ago. It worked just fine before I "upgraded" my operating system.

Anyway, if I am inclined to try this patch, does that mean I have to recompile my glibc?

From that bug report it seems to be HW related as well and more common on particular CPUs as for what to do see if the bug is in the SUSE bugzilla if not report it sighting the one on sourceware though they will most likely kick it to the gcc crew ;) recompiling system libraries is an arcane art avoid.

Enjoy the Choice :)
