ello,
I am encountering a problem I just can't seem to figure out and I am out of
ideas. I can compile and run fine on one linux box running Mysql 5.1.23-rc, but
as soon as I scp the binary and its required libs to another machine which has
identical hardware and only a slightly upgraded distro (but also running
5.1.23-rc), I get a glibc malloc(): memory corruption: *** error, which traces
back to the mysql_real_connect() call. I ran ldd -v on the binary on both
machines and there are some differences, but they don't look important. I have
run this binary on other machines before with no issues.
I can connect to the database on the troubled machine both locally from the
client and through my program from a different machine, but my program craps
out when I run it locally on this new box. What could be going wrong? The
database connection is one of the first things the program does- before we do
any significant allocation of memory, so I really do not believe that this is a
problem with my program (it has also been continually tested with many
different data sets).
I checked the bug database and this forum and could not find any relevant
information, if you have any ideas, please let me know! Below is the output
from my program, and the code I am using to connect- am I doing something wrong
there? If there is any more information I can provide, please let me know.
Thank you,
-Kevin
