I've been updating all my ports and I started to get segmentation
faults with pear. All I have to do is to type pear, let it list the
options and it finishes with the following error and threatens to open
a debugger that never opens.
I now have three machines that have the problem. There is little in
common between them. One is a P4 running up to date current, another
is AMD Athlon also running up to date current and the last is a brand
new DELL P-4 Server with 2G of ECC memory that I just finished
installing RELENG_6, php5, php5-extensions, pear, etc. and have the
same problem. All the other machines are a couple of years old. All
three of the machines are cvsuping, building world, and kernels daily
with no problems at all. All the systems libraries, includes, etc are
up to date. I have installed world erased all more than a day old and
re installed world several times in the last few days on the two older
ones and the dell installation is less than 48 hours old and has build
and installed world twice.
The simplest way to get the error is to just run the pear command and
it finishes with the following:
Type "pear help options" to list all options.
Type "pear help shortcuts" to list all command shortcuts.
Type "pear help <command>" to get the help for the specified command.
Segmentation Fault in 42156, waiting for debugger
I have no idea what could cause the problem and much less, how to
troubleshoot it. Google hasn't been my friend, yet, and that worries
me makes it sound more like operator error, but I have no idea how.
Any ideas, suggestions or even confirmation that I'm not alone would
be greatly appreciated. I'm pretty sure that if I could get it to not
try to drop into the debugger I would at least be able to add pear
modules even though it would core dump but I have no idea how.
Thanks,
ed
P.S. General info:
php5-5.1.4
pear-1.4.6
I asked this question on the freebsd-questions list yesterday
but now I'm begining to think it might be more port related.
