/usr/lib/dld.sl: Call to mmap() failed

[j773303]

The error message as below, does anyone know how to troubleshoot the root cause.

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Call to mmap() failed - BSS /pj/grapher/lib/libgraph.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Not enough space
sh: 25781 Abort(coredump)

you can get a stack trace from the core with the GNU debugger: http://www.hp.com/go/developers
but pretty soon you need source code to make much headway..

file core
what core
to find out what binary cored.

It's potentially kernel params forcing limiting the apps resources or some bug in the application or dependent libraries. Usually a system patch update will fix (or break!) this..

Later,

In addition to what Bill has said.

Not enough space may sometimes indicate lack of swap space also. Please check that.

Check your access to /pj/grapher/lib/libgraph.sl. The program which your ran is referencing this library. If you do not have access to it, either permissions/owner/group, or it does not exist, or your PATH is not set right you will get this same sort of message. It looks like memory, but actually its a problem with the library.

Your PATH variable might not just be PATH, but it could be SHLIB_PATH, etc. depending on what your application needs.

Hi,

It may be because you do not have enough free space. check with "bdf" command.

CPU is occupied with some other processes. Check the cpu usage by executing "top" command. If any process is taking full utilisation of cpu, there is a chance that you get this error.

If everything is fine, restart the system so that it clears some amount of memory.
