Got ld core dump on HP 9000/782 with gcc 2.9-hppa-991112

Hi,

Your problem comes from the following :

ERROR: mmap failed for dld
ERROR: mmap failed for TSD


This two lines are reported by the command :

strings core ? more

This is a well known problem for new hp-ux 11.0 and due to a problem of swap sizing.

mmap() function is not able to allocate more memory even in swap space.

Please check with system admin the following formula :

Swap space = Four times the amount of physical memory.

After sizing swap space, the link edition will be fine.

gives a nice explaination of linking shared libraries in HPUX. It also says that you must use the -z compiler option for the .c's. It may be different with gcc, however.
