Hi monks,

I am using perlembed ( calling perl function from inside C code) and this was working correctly in until i shifted the code to a new linux machine. I am getting segmentation fault (0x00aab049 in _int_free () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6).

Let me be frank and tell you that i am engineering college student and i certainly know this perlMonk forums is not a place to do homeworks. I tried my best to solve the problem,but i failed . Actually the new machine is the one at my college. In my home machine it is working correctly.

Both linux machines have same perl version(5.8.0). Then i doubted that error was in libperl.so in the new linux machine(1.2MB) as it was half the size of libperl.so in my home machine(2.5MB). Then i copied libperl.so from college machine to home machine.But to my astonishment it worked correctly again at my home machine.Could any one tell what the error is in the linux machine at my college.I got following info when i gave a "bt" in "gdb" debugger.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
