[Staden-package] "Invalid io handle" from gap4 on amd64

[ADSJ (A. <ad...@no...>]

  Hi.


I'm trying to make (local) Ubuntu-packages of Staden on amd64.

I've got the package compiled and running on a 686 (P4).

I've got it compiled on an amd64, but I get these odd errors
consistently, when I try to run gap4:

=3D=3D =3D
 $ $STADENROOT/linux-amd64-bin/gap4 filename.1.aux=20
 WARNING! Database has lock file, but is no longer in use.
 WARNING! Taking ownership of lock.
 Invalid io handle

     while executing
 "db_info db_name $io"
     invoked from within
 "if {$io > 0} {
     if {$read_only} {
         set extras "     *READ-ONLY*"
     } else {
         set extras ""
     }
     wm title . "GAP v$GAP_VERSION: [db_info db_n..."
     (file "/usr/lib/staden-rel-1-6-0/lib/gap/gap.tcl" line 701)
=3D=3D =3D

Running gap4 on the same file on the P4-machine (with Staden built for
that) does not fail with this error, it works.

Do you have any hints or pointers as to what I could be doing wrong?

(I'm using Makefile.thirdparty to make local versions of the various
third party dependencies; had to fiddle a little with the various
makefiles to get -fPIC in and such. Both boxes run Ubuntu 5.10).


  Best regards,
