libc problem - reinit libc failed

Klaus Crusius — Fri, 05 Mar 2004 05:21:51 GMT

Hi,

we suffer a problem when linking 2 3rd party libriaries in one application. One of them is the well known Oracle, the other is Setcim from AspenTech. The error message appears, before the execution of main is starting.

The following happens on HPUX11.0 with Oracle 9.2.0.4 and setcim version 4.9:

# cat main.c
int main() {
exit(0);
}

# cc main.c -L$ORACLE_LIB -L$SETCIMLIB -lsetcim -lclntsh -o main
# main

Pthread internal error: message: __libc_reinit() failed, file: /ux/core/kern/pth
reads/pthread.c, line: 1093
Return Pointer is 0xc0b69273
Quit

It is not possible to start up any application, which uses both libraries. We
found, that setcim refers to libc.1, while oracle uses libc.2.
If that is the reason for the error,
is there a version of libsetcim.a available, which uses libc.2 ?

I add the output of odump

odump -sllibloadlist main

Shared Library Load List for main:

18 ^ ^ /usr/lib/libc.1
19 ^ ^ ^ /usr/lib/libdld.1
20 ^ /usr/lib/libc.2

Is there any idea out there that helps us to make the beasts cooperate?

Hi

Do not use libc.1 and libc.2

libc.2 should be enough

the problem is, I can not control that, because the dependencies are buried in the external libraries.
I am also not sure, if the two versions of libc really matter.

Hi

Go back to your supplier

Pthread internal error:
message:_libc_reinit() failed,
file: /ux/core/kern/pthreads/pthread.c, line: 1093
This error suggest *a program is compiled with Kernel Threads
(libpthread), which cannot be intermixed with Posix/DCE threads."

NOTE : The info shared shows you linked with both libc.1 and libc.2 and libdld.1 and libdld.2

this is not supported since it is an unacceptable mix..

Hi

run chatr main

Post result

Also after a fault try

chatr +s disable main

Try it again

Is there a difference

Shortly speaking, it had no effect.

16 ^ /cocain/setcim49/lib/libsetcim.a
17 ^ ^ /usr/lib/libM.1
18 ^ ^ /usr/lib/libc.1
19 ^ ^ ^ /usr/lib/libdld.1

this seems weird, a '.a' being listed in the shared library list.

how about checking if an archive is available and linking with it if possible ?
