Dear all,

do you remember we had problems that could only be cured by inserting `GLOBALSTKSIZE=1000000' into the environment when running _some_ programs? If you don't remember, please read at http://www.cs.unipr.it/pipermail/ppl-devel/2003-April/003589.html

I have now tried to see whether the fixes of 1.10#5 make this kludge unnecessary. The answer is negative, even though the error message is now different.

Here is what I see:

$ GLOBALSTKSIZE=1000000 ciao_clpq <../../../../ppl/ppl/interfaces/Prolog/Ciao/../check_script {ERROR: dynlink/2: could not load library libppl_ciao.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)} {ERROR: No handle found for thrown error error(existence_error(procedure,/(ppl_ciao:ppl_initialize,0)),/(ppl_ciao:ppl_initialize,0))} [roberto@zoltan Ciao]$ GLOBALSTKSIZE=1000000 ../../../libtool --mode=execute -dlopen ../../../src/libppl.la -dlopen ../../../Watchdog/libpwl.la -dlopen libppl_ciao.la ciao_clpq <../../../../ppl/ppl/interfaces/Prolog/Ciao/../check_script Copyright (C) 2001-2004 Roberto Bagnara bagnara@cs.unipr.it this program is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions.

Which is fine. But when I omit the `GLOBALSTKSIZE=1000000' I obtain

$ ../../../libtool --mode=execute -dlopen ../../../src/libppl.la -dlopen ../../../Watchdog/libpwl.la -dlopen libppl_ciao.la ciao_clpq <../../../../ppl/ppl/interfaces/Prolog/Ciao/../check_script Copyright (C) 2001-2004 Roberto Bagnara bagnara@cs.unipr.it this program is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions.

Please, let me know what I can do to help you find what causes this behavior. All the best,

Roberto
