Message-ID: <1315465850.27959.55.camel@troll> (raw)
What would cause this?
bunyip rpm # /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/bin/vmware
*** glibc detected *** /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: malloc():
memory corruption: 0x09f35e80 ***
^C
bunyip rpm #
Ive tried doing a emerge -ep world
glibc is
* sys-libs/glibc
Latest version available: 2.12.2
Latest version installed: 2.12.2
Size of downloaded files: 16,008 kB
Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html
Description: GNU libc6 (also called glibc2) C library
License: LGPL-2
Ive tried vmware 7.1.3 and 7.1.4 from the vmware overlay and various
kernels
google has lots of occurrences but no fixes Ive found.
Next step is to try a newer glibc but I would like to know if there are
any more obvious steps to take first.
