Or adding -m64 to f77 is a workaround. Why did it uses /usr/bin/amd64/ld when compiling 32-bit programs?
The test program is here: http://ehouarn.ifrance.com/arithmurgie/lapack/exemples/test_dgeev.f
thanks in advance for help,

Hi!
ld is executed as an 64bit program, to have maximum memory available for linkage. You can prevent this by setting LD_NOEXEC_64=1 in your environment using export or setenv.
This is a known issue in sunstudio 12u1. At least I read something about it in the forum as I experienced that problem, too.
Bye...Frank

  • What happended to the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool 4.2 for Solaris 10?

    What happended to the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool 4.2 for Solaris 10?
    I'm trying to debug a kernel panic under Solaris 10 on sparcv9. I tried the SUNWscat 4.1 package but it core dumps on Solaris 10. I found a blog entry that described the problem and mentioned a version 4.2 fix. That was from May 2006, but I have not found any update sense then. Was 4.2 ever released or is their an alternative tool for Solaris 10 that I can use?

    One problem is that those of us who develop Solaris CAT do so as a "hobby" as it's not part of our actual jobs. But he good news is that management gave us the time to get a release out and 5.0 is now available here . We're now planning 6 month releases so we don't have a 5 year delay between updates.
    BTW, the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool supports Solaris 10, OpenSolaris/Solaris Nevada, sparc, and x86/x64.
    There are so many enhancements and bug fixes that I'd recommend reading the release notes (SUNWscat/docs/index.html).

  • Solaris 10 crashes while running find command

    I have set up solaris 10 on an intel machine. When I run "find" command the system crashes.
    Please Help
    Thanks in advance

    Hi please help me I almost despair,
    I have experienced the same problem. When I try to find a file without specifying location (using the shortcut on default desktop in JDS with mouse) the application crashes.
    Thereafter I'm not even able to shut down the system as the mouse doesn't seem to react anymore (can point but not click).
    I was logged on as root. However maybe it matters that I only just installed Solaris 10 and as I'm a complete beginner with Solaris I don't know if any post-installation configuration is required. Furthermore the same happens with the "Desktop Overview" shortcut (the book icon with the questionmark that appears by default after new installation).
    I have chosen the default installation.
    System info:
    nforce4 motherboard, 2GB RAM
    Athlon 64 3800+ x2
    Asus geforce 6600gt, driver not yet installed
    D-link DWL-G520 wireless pci card, Atheros driver not yet installed (from opensolaris.org)
    IDE hard drive for SOLARIS 10
    SATA Raid 0 of 2 drives on sil3114 for WIN XP
    It would be very kind if someone could help me. I installed Solaris as Ithought it was more stable than Win but probably I am just doing something wrong.

  • ZFS crash

    I had an interesting dilemma today and I'm wondering if anyone here can illuminate on why this happened.
    I have a number of pools, including the root pool, in on-board disks on the server. I also have one pool on a SAN disk, outside the system. Last night the SAN crashed, and shortly thereafter, the Solaris system executed a number of cron jobs, most of which involved running functions on the pool that was on the SAN. This caused a number of problems, most notably that when the SAN eventually came up, those cron jobs finished, and then crashed the system again.
    Only by zfs destroying the newly created zfs file system that the cron jobs created was the system able to boot up again. As long as those corrupted zfs file systems remained on the SAN disk, not even the rpool would boot up correctly. None of the zfs file systems would mount, and most services were disabled. Once I destroyed the newly created zfs file systems, everything instantly mounted and all services started.
    Question: why would those one zfs file systems prevent ALL pools from mounting, even when they are on different disks and file systems, and prevent all services from starting? I thought ZFS was more resistant to this sort of thing. I will have to edit my scripts and add SAN-checking to make sure it is up before they execute to prevent this from happening again. Luckily I still had all the raw data that the cron jobs were working with, so I was able to quickly re-create what the cron jobs did originally.

    If no one answers here try again on the OpenSolaris ZFS Forums.

  • Problem with threads, program always crash

    new to threads, may be doing something COMPLETELY wrong. When I run the program I get a couple of NullPointerExceptions in Thread-0 and Thread-1. I'm confused because it screws up when I call size() for arrayList, and in the API size doesn't throw anything.

    *int list = 0;*
    *while((list = record.size)<1) was screwing things up because of the assignment*record is ArrayList of strings. when better to use Vector instead of ArrayList? i notice no differnce and i use threads
    initially I thought record.size was being evaluated and before could be assigned to list, time slice ran out. this could not be case because I use ReentrantLock (list) to lock it.

  • Iphoto crashing after using mini-dvi to video adapter

    Hi, IPhoto on my Macbook is crashing. I can open it, then as soon as I scroll down it locks up and I have to force quit.
    This started happening right after I used a Mini-DVI to Video Adapter cable to hook my macbook up to my TV. The adapter/s-video connection worked and I was able to see the video on the tv. But iphoto immediately locked up the computer when I went to slide show and now it locks every time I open it.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you:)
    Dorothy

    It means that the issue resides in your existing Library.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Help my safari doesnt open and gives me a crash report

    help my safari doesn't open and gives me a crash report ever since i downloaded a file from the internet. I have a macbook air (early 2014) with running os x yosemite version 10.10.1

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.

  • How do I install all my old programs and data from an old system folder after I have reinstalled the same OSX system after a crash?

    The system is OSX10.5.8 Leopard on a 2009 imac. A new system was installed from the installation disks and the original system saved to a folder.
    I need to use my Adobe programs, rescue my email, i-tunes and iphoto data.  The disk utility indicates that my Time Machine back-up disk is damaged and I don't want to take a risk of having Time Machine erase my hard drive and try to reinstall the exact system existing at the time of the crash.  There was over 650 gb of stored files that I was copying and removing from the drive at the time it crashed. The total size of the original system file is still about 650 Gb.
    I would prefer to go back in Time Machine and only rescue the programs as most of the files have been copied to external hard drives, but I can't access the back-up hard drive from the new version of the Time Machine.  Or by I don't want the Time Mchine to start copying the new operating system which would include all the data in the old system file. Time Machine was working fine at the time of the crash.

    No, the disk was backed up with time machine a few hours prior to the crash.  I was unable to open the computer when I tried to restart it- got a grey screen with the spinning disk- after a few minutes the screen would go black and would reboot continuously, but not load any images or programs. I started the computer from the 10.5.4 installation disks and checked both the time machine external hard drive and the Imac internal drive with the disk utilities. Both showed as damaged --the internal drive and permissions were repaired, but the external drive (time machine back-up)  was damaged and not repairable by disk utilities. I don't believe that the external drive for Time Machine was connected to the computer at the time of the crash as I was copying files to a different hard drive drive. And I was not having any problems with the TM back-up drive prior to the crash.
    I accessed the Imac internal disk by firewire (as a target disk) and copied as many data files as I had room for on my external hard drives available.  And I deleted quite a few files from the imac internal drive (mostly just jpegs, duplicate tifs, etc--nothing that was used by i-photos, i-tunes or the Mail program).
    Then I installed a new OSX10.5.4 system from the installation disk and the old system was moved to a folder on the hard drive.  I previousy had had the option to reinstall the complete system from Time Machine when I connected that drive and booted with the installation disks with the C key depressed.  But it didn't seem like a good option because I was unsure of the condition of that external disk and whether it would be able to reinstall my data correctly, once it had erased my internal hard drive. 
    I'm considering buying some new external hard drives and backing up the present system to time Machine (so I'll still have my old data in the old system folder).  And then I would try using the old Time Machine back-up to try to reinstall the sytem previous to the crash.  That back-up would reinstall about 700gb of data and operating software and programs which sounds like a lengthy back-up.  Since I have never used Time Machine to do a full reinstallation (I've only used it for individual files), I'm reluctant to do anything rash.
    I'm a professional designer (with a deadline) but I can still use my Illustrator and Photoshop by opening them from the old system folder and saving the files to an external drive.  So it's not neccessary to do anything hasty except to delete some of the excess art and document files that were causing the computer to run slowly and the  Adobe programs to crash when I tried to save my work. I have quite a few books on tape in the i-tumes folder which is probably talking up tons of space but I don't where the i-tunes files live.
    Thanks for any help. Peggy

  • Crashes and Lock-ups

    I have been experiencing crashes and lock-ups in Premiere CS4.
    Last week I was running Encore to burn a DVD and when I noticed the processor was running flat out. I decided to run Core Temp to check the temperatures. At that point my encoding stopped and Encore locked up.
    Now I usually have Core Temp start when I load Windows. I have now disabled it and when I ran Premiere last night guess what? No lock-ups. Now this is early days but I suspect Core Temp might be the problem. I hope so. I'll report back with my findings when I have had more time to experiment.
    PS I'm running Windows XP SP3, Quad Core 6600 and 4Gb RAM
    Cheers,
    Tim

  • Pavilion Elite e9180f freezes, crashes, BSOD

    I am one of the many unhappy customers who bought this piece of junk (Pavilion Elite e9180f) and waited too long to return it because in my naivete, I thought it was some kind of simple software issue.  Nope!  It's definitely something wrong with the hardware, because the freezes and crashes have been happening since day 1, right when I took the thing out of the box.
    Yeah, the system is fast and runs Windows Vista great, when it's actually WORKING, which is usually only guaranteed for about the first 5 minutes after you power the system on and boot windows.  After that, it's just buying time before it crashes again.  Forget trying to get anything done on this computer.  Forget about asking this PC to play a video or music file without the files "stuttering" during playback.  Even my 7 year old Sony Vaio which is running XP can handle playing an MP3 file without stuttering and crashing!
    Like everyone else, the freezes and crashes happen either one of two ways:
    1) The machine begins to "stutter", stutter more, then freeze/crash.  When I say stutter, I mean I move the mouse, the pointer graphic will hesitate on the screen and lag behind.  If you start to play a video or music file, this manifests in an audible "stutter".  The stuttering gets worse and worse as minutes pass until eventually it freezes for good, blasting that 1/50th second moment of audio into infinity.  You have to reboot immediately if you don't want to go deaf or be driven mad.
    2)  I will be doing nothing at the time (example, I close all programs out and leave Windows sitting on the main desktop screen), I'll walk out of the room for a minute, then come back and find I can't move the mouse. This system will often lock-up without any warning!
    Sometimes I'll get a BSOD or error screen, sometimes I won't (in which case your only option is to do a cold re-boot.)  When I do get the BSOD, the error is ALWAYS the "did not get a response from the secondary processor" yada yada.  I wish HP would just admit they shipped this model out with a bad processor/motherboard/whatever and do an official recall.  I have owned PCs for the last 13 years and this is the worst and most consistently disappointing experience I have ever had.
    What is the hardware issue?  Which part is the lemon part?  The motherboard?  The processor?  The BSODs seem to indicate a bad processor.  I do have the Pegatron Truckee version 1.03 motherboard.  Is that the problem?
    P.S.  I have contacted HP on many occasions about this, literally stayed on the phone for hours with "customer support" (according to one HP rep, 80% of their customer service reps are based outside of the United States...good luck getting any "technical" help from them) to no avail.  I did talk to one nice tech support guy in Canada who said "it sounds like your unit has a bad processor", so he had HP send me a box to ship my unit to their repair center so they can replace the processor.  However, I have also had HP reps tell me it could be anything from the memory to the hard drive.  Multiple HP reps claimed to me that they have "received no complaints" about this system.  One guy told me he "thought he got an email last week" regarding "something" about the system, but couldn't remember what it was and he put me on hold while he searched for the email.  He never found it.  What a joke.
    EDIT:  Just to clarify, the crashing issue has been happening since day one, but initially I thought it was an issue with Vista.  I had never owned or used Vista before, so I thought maybe Vista was just unstable.  Nope.  I know several people who own Vista and have never experienced these issues.  I have downloaded every update from Microsoft/Windows Update.  I have upgraded to Vista SP2 with all the latest drivers and software for all of my hardware.  No luck.  It is definitely a hardware issue.  Thank god HP's warranty is good for 1 year (I bought my Elite in July).

    Unfortunately I have to add my disastrous encounter with HP's E9180F a true lemon HP is selling. I must take some responsibility for not carefully researching this model before I purchased, but I trusted the HP name and got stung- big time.
    The scoundrel  :
    HP and its Pavilion Elite e9180f
    Windows 7 64bit
    motherboard - Pegatron  Truckee ver 1.03
    BIOS ver  5.22Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67GHz
    Memory 9206 MB Ram   
    As so many others have reported my HP E9180f started locking up and going to BSOD right out of the box. My first freeze-up came when I was doing the Windows update process. At first I didn't think much about it but I started getting random freezes a couple time a day. At that point I went online to see if others had experienced the same problem and perhaps had a fix. What I found was very troubling;  I found extensive documentation describing my exact problems and what was really horrifying was the reports of how ridiculous HP's help services were treating people with the problem. At first I didn't totally believe what I was reading on HP's own customer forum; I do now.
    ·         I've went through the total recovery process three times now, HP techs have spent hours remotely running my computer, (yes it did lock up on them to)
    ·         I had to upgraded the BIOS. (HP tech tried, said he had, but he hadn't)
    ·         I was directed to clear the BIOS (luckily for me I had the tools
    ·         Updated all drivers again and again.
    ·         Next I was asked to remove the video card, memory, and motherboard power cable and reseat them. I declined because I didn't want to give HP any reason to void my HP 2 year House Call Care Pack which covers this unit. When I invited HP to send a service tech out to perform these tasks, they said that house call only covers part replacement, we weren't replacing a part. I couldn't believe what I was told. Are you feeling my frustration?  
    Keep in mind that each time HP requests that I make changes, they then ask me to test the system, which I did and each time with the same result, BSOD
    I'm heading into my fifth week of working with HP to fix this problem. and I still haven't even been able to get my case moved up to a senior case manager, what a joke HP's help process is.
     One conversation I loved was;
    HP tech: "I'll have a senior case manager call you within 24 hours."
    Skeptical me: "What should I do if I don't get a call?"
    Silence, no response.
    Me again: "What should I do if I don't get a call?"
    HP tech: "That's an impossibility."
    Guess what? The impossibility became reality (I bet you guessed) .
    HP's last stall tactic was to have me fax them my proof of purchase and invoice and call back in 24 hours. Where have I heard that before? Apparently nothing can go forward until they receive it. So I faxed them the stuff within 10 minutes, and when I called back 24 hours later, guess what, you're right it wasn't on their system yet. I asked couldn't I be escalated to a senior case manager  (it's apparent that only a senior case manager can do anything). "No," was the tech's reply, "call back again later".
    Please if anyone out there knows the secrete to getting a senior case manager, or an HP tech support number here in the U.S. so I can get this thing fixed I'd love to know it.
    Fast becoming HP never again.      

  • Mid 2009 Crashing but fine in Safe Mode

    Hello friendly support community,
    Having a little issue again with my mid 2009 Macbook Pro 2.53GHz intel core 2 duo system. Upgraded the system from 4gb to 8 gb about a month ago and everything has seemingly been running fine until today.
    - Shut down my system last night.
    - Went to power on this evening about an hr ago and I was stuck on the white Apple logo loading screen.-
    - Reset PRAM (reset 3 times in a row) and SMC ---- still stuck
    - Boot into safe mode--- worked then immediately restarted (via instructions from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570)
    - Boot normaly (no longer stuck on white loading screen!)----- then immediate CRASH!!!
    - Back in safe mode now (which is working fine) to submit this Help Discussion
    Here is the panic report. Any ideas. I know that yesterday I updated the Evernote app from the Apple App Store and updated the definitions in the VirusBarrier App (also downloaded from the app store a while ago). Nothing more changed. Would really appreciate the help!

  • Browse and crash...

    After recently downloading and installing the 1.0.3 update to Soundtrack Pro I also loaded the Sony Kit Watkins Ambient Realms library of loops. While browsing the loops in the STP browser, STP suddenly quit. I've had this problem with other loop libraries as far back as version 1.0 of STP, so to have it again now suggests an internal problem never corrected. There is no single loop that always causes a problem, but the problem doesn't seem to occur until after previewing a number of loops, as though some stack finally fills up and aborts the whole process. Although it's always wise to save often, this problem is like playing Russian Roulette with one's work. Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a solution?

    Hi Lawrence,
    That sounds strange to me. I audition files all the time just fine. I wonder what's different. I'm running Tiger. What audio interface are you using?
    Whenever I run into strange behavior, I usually switch to built-in audio and try the same thing as a sanity to see if it is something funky with my audio interface setup (at least this might help isolate the issue). Having said that, I've found STP 1.0.2 and now STP 1.0.3 to be really solid (at the risk of jinxing myself).
    Also, are you getting the send crash report to Apple thingy or does STP just quit? Sometimes there are clues about why an app crashed by looking at the crash log or by opening the console (/Applications/Utilties/Console.app)--have you checked there for more info?

  • FF crashes at start-up; the solution seems to suggest that I should access the help menu on the FF window--which I can't open because it crashes--what am I missing?

    it started on 9/3--worked fine for years before that.
    Sorry to be dumb, but I cannot follow your instructions--they make no sense to me. What is a location bar (to find "about:crashes"). where do I find a crash id? where do I find "help> troubleshooting" to copy and paste information? you could use much better help screens to explain to the averge person what you need.

    If Firefox is crashing as soon as you open it, getting information from inside Firefox is almost impossible. See if Firefox crashes so quickly when you open Firefox in the Firefox SafeMode. Hold the '''Shft''' when you go to start Firefox, don't select anything right now, just use '''''Continue in SafeMode'''''.

  • HT1933 I am having a problem where EVERY app on my iPhone suddenly started crashing and NONE of them are now usable.

    No clue why.  Includes apple apps.  I have no idea *which* of the 500 apps I should select to report.  None were new at the time it started…, etc.  Just doing the same old things with the same old apps one day (and no recent updates) and the next day everything was crashing within 5-65 seconds of opening the app. It's been that way ever since. Usually crash time is closer to 5 seconds after touching the app.  Occasioinally I can get up to 30-40.
    I have tried removing individual apps and avoiding using individual apps (particularly those that I always use; again, this is inexplicable.)
    I have tried resetting the phone (2 button hold)
    I have tried restarting.
    I have tried using only apple apps.  The phone app is the only one that is mostly usuable; if they called me, and the phone app crashes, it puts the green message bar at the top and usually doesn't disconnect, but it's hard to test and I rarely use the phone.  Sometimes after a phone call the iPhone will remain stable for as much as 20 minutes.
    I have tried using only one app.
    I have tried restoring to a backup.
    I have tried restoring and using it with *no* backup.  It seemed to work for nearly an hour, even after redownloading a few old apps to the phone via 3G; problem is I have a handful of apps with data in them that is very important to me and I do not know any other way to back them up and get their data back on the iPhone.  If I can isolate these apps' backup data and reset everything else, I'd be willing to try it.
    I was convinced it was a hardware issue until I got the brief apparent success with restoring with no backup.  (above)
    I need new ideas… I can always bite the bullet and get a new phone, but I really want to find out how to make sure this problem doesn't crop up again.

    Have you tried clean up the apps in the multitask window?
    On you iPhone, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
    Follow these steps to force an app to close:
    From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
    Tap and hold on the app.
    When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it on eby one until all cleared
    Now do a Soft reset of your iPad:
    Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, try your Apps again.
