Change History

  • keywords dragonfly amd64 added
  • component changed from none to testing

This is the failure message observed in the overwhelming majority of these failures:

# Received:
# /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.2: Shared object "libparrot.so.1.6.0" not found, required by "[test_name]"
# 

... every file except t/op/inf_nan.t, AFAICT. So if we can figure out why you're not finding this very important file, most of your tests may clear up. Can you locate libparrot.so.1.6.0 at all?

(Probably OT side note: I recently upgraded from Debian 4.1 to 5.0. While at 4.1, I had build Perl 5.10.0 and then 5.10.1 from source. When I tried to run /usr/local/bin/perl -v after the distro upgrade, I got a missing shared object failure much like yours.)

it's in blib/lib

at the OT stuff: perl -v works fine here.

reezer:

Since postings on our Smolder report "age out" after a while and are no longer fully accessible, would it be possible for you to call prove -v on all the test files that are experiencing failures, redirect both STDOUT and STDERR to a file, and post the file as an attachment to this ticket?

Also, is there anything obvious in config/init/hints/dragonfly.pm that won't work because you're on a 64-bit platform? (I believe all previous Dragonfly smoke reports have been from 32-bit systems.)

I don't think any of our core developers currently works on Dragonfly/AMD64. But we have people who might be able to spot a pattern and suggest a patch.

Thank you very much.

Sorry for the delay, but now I added it.

About the hints file: I don't know enough about that. Maybe ask on the dragonfly mailing list or in IRC on #dragonflybsd on EFnet. Since there is a package for parrot in pkgsrc I guess some of them would be happy to help out, if more specific information is needed.

Of course I will try to provide any information required.

The inf/nan failures look like dragonfly has a different math library implementation in libc than all the other *BSDs. It could be a bug in their libc.

Would you be able to attach your lib/Parrot/Config/Generated.pm? Since most of the errors stem from an inability to locate libparrot.so (which we have established is in blib/lib at the point the tests are run), I'd be interested in seeing the results of your Parrot configuration. (Though I concede this is unexplored territory for me.)

Thank you very much.

Could it have something to do with the amd64 vs x86_64? Either inside parrot (the stuff inside config/) or because perl is x86_64, while DragonFly calls it amd64.

I don't know enough to say one way or the other. Perhaps some other 64-bit users can respond.

Thanks for posting your Parrot::Config::Generated. For research purposes, I configured Parrot on my Linux/i386, changed the homedir path in your Generated.pm to /home/user/ and did likewise with mine, then called diff -w on the two versions of Generated.pm. I am attaching the result as linux.dragonfly.diff. But here I'm posting what I suspect are the most relevant differences between my Generated.pm and yours.

I wonder if the difference between my -rpath and your -R is significant with respect to the question of locating libparrot correctly.

In the Debian world, there was  a discussion about RPATH on AMD64 beginning here.

  Changed 12 years ago by reezer

Could this be related?  http://rt.perl.org/rt3//Public/Bug/Display.html?id=69686

Currently I can't test this stuff, maybe tomorrow or in a few days.

  Changed 12 years ago by reezer

I just found time to test this again. For testing I used the latest nightly image of DragonFly which I installed in VirtualBox.

I didn't get the errors any more and only two tests failed. Both of them in t/op/inf_nan.t

I'm not sure what the inf_nan test that fails does. Would it be possible to provide a small C file to explain the problem(s)? I mean something that maybe prints the expected and the current output or simply crashes.

I could use it to understand, test and report it.

reezer,

It appears that the tests you cited as failing are no longer a part of t/op/inf_nan.t. Could you try another make test on Parrot head?

Thank you very much.

The first two tests of t/dynoplibs/trans-infnan.t fail:

not ok 1 - exp: exp Inf
# Have: NaN
# Want: Inf
not ok 2 - ... exp -Inf
# Have: NaN
# Want: 0
