Description timon.schroeter 2001-10-06 02:38:59 UTC
OOo 638C, and so6beta both english and german crash while trying to install. 
this is what the console says:

timon@superlinux:~/KDesktop >  so-6_0-beta-bin-linux-de.bin
glibc version: 2.2.2
timon@superlinux:~/KDesktop >

exact same thing fort the other versions I mentioned. Kevin B. Hendricks 
analysed a strace- output of the install-try, this is part of his answer:

1. the problem is caused by a segfault

2.  The problem seems to happen when dlopening (or simply loading) the 
following shared library: libsmgr.so

1184  open("./libsmgr.so", O_RDONLY)    = 7
1184  read(7, 
"\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0000-\1\000"..., 1024) = 
1024
1184  fstat64(7, {st_dev=makedev(3, 8), st_ino=180920, 
st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_nlink=1, st_uid=500, st_gid=100, st_blksize=4096, 
st_blocks=504, st_size=254715, st_atime=2001/10/04-01:09:41, 
st_mtime=2001/09/18-22:44:46, st_ctime=2001/10/04-01:09:35}) = 0
1184  getcwd("/tmp/sv001.tmp", 128)     = 15
1184  old_mmap(NULL, 199376, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 7, 0) = 
0x41a97000
1184  mprotect(0x41ac1000, 27344, PROT_NONE) = 0
1184  old_mmap(0x41ac1000, 28672, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, 
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 7, 0x29000) = 0x41ac1000
1184  close(7)                          = 0
1184  --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---

I can't install 638C, so6beta en or de...

I'm using SuSE7.2, customized in some details but for the most part what came 
with the distribution.

I'll do anything I can to help you track this down- alle other OOo realeases 
worked, I want to se this one working, too!!!

I've registered the very same issue under 1792 with 638C.
Suspicious failed setrlimit calls ( maybe glibc bug).

Hi Timon,
are you using a graphik device with S3 chip?
If you do so please have a loook at:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31879
There you'll find a workaround.
Comment 4 timon.schroeter 2001-10-10 00:24:11 UTC
No graphik device with S3 chip, but a nvidia card with installed 
binary drivers from nvidia. I switched back to the normal 
unaccelerated driver from the xf86-project, but the installation 
still faild, same output on the console:

timon@superlinux:~/KDesktop/OOo638C > setup
glibc version: 2.2.2
timon@superlinux:~/KDesktop/OOo638C >
