Hi, I'm struggling to get sprof to run, starting to believe there's a bug somewhere. I'm posting this here because I didn't find any mention searching the web and checking two other computers, sprof works under SUSE 10.0 but fails on another openSUSE 10.2. I'm running openSUSE 10.2, the output of uname -a: Linux psi 2.6.18.8-0.5-default #1 SMP Fri Jun 22 12:17:53 UTC 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux When collecting profile info with LD_PROFILE=libc.so.6 LD_PROFILE_OUTPUT=. ls and afterwards trying to display the profile with sprof libc.so.6 returns sprof: failed to load shared object `libc.so.6': No such file or directory Investigating with ltrace turns up the following: ltrace sprof libc.so.6 __libc_start_main(0x804a7f0, 2, 0xbfe078a4, 0x804b980, 0x804b970 <unfinished ...> setlocale(6, "") = "" textdomain("") = "" argp_parse(0x804e0d0, 2, 0xbfe078a4, 0, 0xbfe07808) = 0 strchr("\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377"..., '/') = "\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377"... strlen("\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377"...) = 9 strcpy(0xbfe07672, "libc.so.6") = 0xbfe07672 dlopen("\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377"..., 1073741825) = NULL dlopen("\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377"..., 1073741825) = NULL __dcgettext("failed to load shared object `%s"..., "failed to load shared object `%s"..., 5) = "failed to load shared object `%s"... __errno_location() = 0xb7df968c error(0, 2, 0x804bd94, 0xbfe07cee, 0xb7f696f8sprof: failed to load shared object `libc.so.6': No such file or directory ) = 0 exit(1 <unfinished ...> +++ exited (status 1) +++ So somehow, somewhere it seems to destroy the name of the so. Is this a bug in openSUSE's libc? Shall I post this to the glibc mailinglist?
