pthread_create failed upon execution
Im trying to run an application i compiled (iperf) and i get an error telling me that it cant create the pthread. when i ran the ./configuration one of the things it checked was for pthreads which came back ok.

Im not really sure where to even start to resolve this. i have been unable to find where exactly the pthread library is but based on LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the RUNPATH and RPATH in the app itself i dont think its a pathing problem. I've run this on a couple of V10 machines fine but this only seems to be a problem with our V9 systems.

where do i start?

Thanks

i also did a ldd and it is able to find all of the libraries it needs.

i already that it may have hit a thread limit but have been unable to find out where this might be set in solaris 9. where should i look for such limits?

Hi,

what error are you getting? What compiler are you using?

The first idea that comes to my mind would be to check that the program is compiled for Pthreads (-mt -lpthread using cc). I understood that you have already checked out, right?

Thanks for the response. the guy who owns the box finally got back to me and i think the problem is that the system is limited to two threads. he said because its a dual proc system it is limited to two threads. not sure if they set it or its just a funcation of the hardware, but i know i wont be getting this changed.

anyone know of a single threaded app to test network speeds that works on solaris and windows? :-/

thanks

strange... You can start normally start hundredths of threads, even if your box has only one CPU available.

yeah i know, thats kind of the point of threads Smilie

but, its a production machine and i dont run it. i was just asked to evaluate network speeds/reliability. i dont know solaris at all and i was just told to use iperf..

at the very least i've learned a whole ton of stuff about solaris Smilie

Thanks

I used to use ttcp in the past.. However, I don't remember if the app is single threaded,

HTH,
