/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't shl_load() a library containing Thread Local Storage: /usr/lib/libpthread.1

[PAUL CHEN_2]

I'm running a third pary software, and getting the following error
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't shl_load() a library containing Thread Local Storage: /usr/lib/libpthread.1. Any recommandations to fix it?

[Mike Stroyan]

Thread Local Storage is a mechanism that gives every thread its own copy of a particular global symbol. 11 and 11.11 require that the total amount of thread local storage is know at the start of the first thread, so shared libraries that contain TLS need to be linked into the program or forced to load at startup with
LD_PRELOAD=libA.1 a.out
or something similar. The particular case of libpthread is not a very good candidate for LD_PRELOAD. You really shouldn't be loading a threaded shared library into a non-threaded a.out. The code in the a.out will not be able to cope with becoming multi-threaded.
By the way, the 11.22 release and later have been adding the ability to dynamically load TLS symbols with a more sophisticated way to allocate TLS storage.

Hi

I've seen this before.
However I have no idea how that turned out at the end.
Mayby try to contact the guy.
