Anyone Know What This Debbuger Message Means? lazarus / 12-Debugger ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stumps · 2014-12-19 21:46 New Lazarus 1.2.6 / FPC 2.6.4 installation on a brand new machine ( Intel Haswell i3 running latest PCLinuxOS ). Upon running or building my application for the first time in a session. I get a notification pop up that says: Initialization output: /usr/bin/gdb: Symbol `acs_map' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking It does not otherwise seem to affect anything. The applications builds and runs normally. It does not show for subsequent runs or builds in that session. Rebuilding Lazarus has no effect. Debugger is gdb 7.8. Laz and FPC were installed using the Sourceforge RPMs. I have searched for this issue and have found nothing regarding its occurrence when using Lazarus. Nor have I come across  anything at all that I considered helpful.  Anyone know what is means.

We generally discourage installing software outside the repo's... The idea being that nothing gets in the repo without thorough testing by packagers and testers    You installed from source / sourceforge, that means you're on your own.... I run 3 different pclos boxes with lazarus/fpc in various versions. I always start with installing the one in the repo! That takes care of any dependencies and other stuff  Then I go on and install the "trunk" in my ~/trunk..... So far everything works like a charm... Must admit the Lazarus version in repo is a bit dated, but it's tested and runs  It's probably some config mishap with LD, seen a couple of those... My "nick" on pclos is also cdbc Regards Benny ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stumps · 2014-12-20 00:32 Quote from: cdbc on December 19, 2014, 11:05:52 pmHey Stumps Fellow PcLinuxOs user here  Are you active on the pclos forum?

My "nick" on pclos is also cdbc Regards Benny Sourceforge, not source. In other words, I installed the official Lazarus / FPC binaries and FPC source.  Since nothing else depends on them, I don't see any risk on the PCLOS side. Using outdated versions from any distro's repositories means the folks here can't fully support you on Laz / FPC. I don't like using trunk, since it can be buggy as hell. What does LD refer to in your post? Stumps ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cdbc · 2014-12-20 03:53 Hi Ld is the linker on linux...

Regards Benny Of course.  Late hour, tasty beverage, and there I was trying to figure out what those two caps abbreviated.  Now, if I could just figure out how the linker is misconfigured. That is something I have never had to worry about before. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- marcov · 2014-12-20 17:24 I don't think this has anything to do with FPC/Lazarus. The program loader loading GDB simply tries to explain that the gdb binary and the libraries that it uses do not (fully) match. acs_names sounds like ncurses, so probably the ncurses on your system does not match the one that GDB was built with. For use with lazarus that doesn't matter much. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stumps · 2014-12-20 19:54 OK. A lot of the references I found on my web search were to ncurses, so it seems you hit the nail on the head. Thank you.
