2.0a1 SEGV on FreeBSD 4.x Was: [Nagios-users]: Perl problems in Nagios 2.0a1 (Tom DE BLENDE (GCC))

[Stanley Hopcroft]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

On FreeBSD RELENG 4 (4.9-RELEASE-p2), Nag 2.0a SEGVs with an error from 
the reentrant C library (libc_r, FreeBSD 4.x threaded C library with at 
least partial support for POSIX threads).

Details are :-

./configure  --with-gd-inc=/usr/local/include/gd 
--with-gd-lib=/usr/local/lib --enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache

*** Compile finished ***

If the main program and CGIs compiled without any errors, you
can continue with installing Nagios as follows (type 'make'
without any arguments for a list of all possible options):

(gdb) set args -v ../etc/nagios.cfg 
(gdb) r
Starting program: /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v ../etc/nagios.cfg

     Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
     directives and data defintions.  If you are upgrading from a 
previous
     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some 
variables/definitions
     may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to 
read
     the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
     'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.


Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

(gdb) q
The program is running.  Exit anyway? (y or n) y


The config is my old 1.2 config. It may be only a matter of disabling 
the pthread support.

Yours sincerely.

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
