RE: BUG while running the make file

[Raheja, Himanshu]

One more help needed from you guys.

I have two LPRng versions installed on my Linux box.

I have binaries for LPRng 3.6.9 under /usr/local/bin.
I have installed the latest LPRng 3.8.28 and I was successfully able to
compile in 32 bit mode. Binaries for this are kept in /usr/local/sbin.


While I am running LPRng 3.8.28 (/usr/local/sbin.) I get following
errors:

2007-02-07-15:28:15.682 sbkdgdbdev1 Init_tempfile: bad tempdir
'/var/spool/lpd/%P'
2007-02-07-15:28:15.683 sbkdgdbdev1 Init_tempfile: bad tempdir
'/var/spool/lpd/%P'
2007-02-07-15:28:15.684 sbkdgdbdev1 Init_tempfile: bad tempdir
/var/spool/lpd/%P'


If I am running LPRng 3.6.9 I get following errors:

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x080a0bc8
***
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x080a0bc8
***

Kindly help and suggest what could be done.

Thanks and Regards
Himanshu.

  Probably because your compiler is a recent one, and defaults to
compiling
64-bit code, but your binutils are slightly out of date and have bugs
trying
to assemble the 64-bit code.  The -m32 flag that you have found out to
use
makes sure the compiler still generates 32-bit code, which the binutils
do not
have any problem with.  So you end up with a 32-bit executable.  (It
might be
possible to upgrade your binutils and get the build to work for 64 bits,
and
the resulting executable might run faster, but it's not something to try
unless you were confident with upgrading packages and knew how to revert
to
the old one if something went wrong.)
