[e-users] segfault trying to run entrance on freebsd 6

[Jon B. <jon...@np...>]

I've compiled entrance from source (did a CVS update today, but nothing
had changed since I last updated) and entrance segfaults on my FreeBSD
6 box with the following error:

"Fatal error 'Recurse on a private mutex.' at line 988 in
file /usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_mutex.c (errno = 0)"

After doing some googling, I learned that this might be caused by
compiling without debugging symbols. I'm recompiling my kernel now, but
I recompiled pthreads with "-g" and that didn't help anything. I don't
think it's in pthreads anyway. I think there's something in entrance
that is running afoul of the BSD "no recursive [private] mutex(es)"
rule. Maybe it's something in an e-lib or something. Not really sure,
not knowing the code.

There was a mention of a fix for this problem with another piece of
software by using USE_LIBTOOL_VER=15, but that's not in any of the
Makefiles, and it doesn't seem to make any difference having it in the
environment, either.

I also found a related discussion thinking it was a problem with gcc
and the "-lc" flag. That flag isn't in pthreads or entrance, so not
sure if that's an issue or not.

Any ideas? I'm about out of them myself...

Thanks!
