dbx: internal warning writable memory segment of size 0 - debugging

While trying to load a core file using dbx I get the following warning:
dbx: internal warning: writable memory segment 0xfa8b0000[16384] of size 0 in core
There doesn't seem to be an explanation in:
(dbx) help core
What does this message mean?
EDIT
The rest of the output:
core file header read successfully
Reading ld.so.1
dbx: internal error: signal SIGBUS (invalid address alignment)
dbx's coredump will appear in /tmp
Abort (core dumped)
And dbx exits without loading the core.

Got solved by upgrading Solaris Studio to version 12.3 and using the newer dbx from there.

One of the reasons why this could happen is because dbx expects the absolute path to get the object files, try giving the
dbx <PATHTOBINARY>/binaryfile
Of course, you can upgrade dbx to the latest version to fix the same.

Fault in reticulate in rstudio

476/5000
rstudio generates error when running R code with python code. At first the code worked very well but in the second installation it started to generate faults. Here is the link of the code in case you want to play #https: //www.r-bloggers.com/r-and-python-using-reticulate-to-get-the-best-of-both-worlds/
. My laptop is hp 4 gigs of ram and 500 mb of hard disk.
I would greatly appreciate who can explain the failure and how to solve it.
I have reinstalled anaconda last version twice.
library(reticulate)
use_python("/usr/local/bin/python")
use_virtualenv("r-reticulate")
os <- import("os")
Error: lexical error: invalid char in json text.
WARNING: The conda.compat modul
(right here) ------^
os$listdir(".")
Error: object 'os' not found
py_config()
Error: lexical error: invalid char in json text.
WARNING: The conda.compat modul
(right here) ------^
Actually, it comes from a deprecation warning reported a few days ago (fix compat import showing warning #8507).
But the fact is that this warning in "conda.compat" generates some errors, for example in the case of using conda environments in R through "reticulate" functions. This issue has been reported quite recently Conda warnings taken as errors #477.
The solution is to simply install the github version of "reticulate" in order to avoid these errors and ignore the conda warnings which shouldn't necessarily impede these functionalities. You can do it like this way:
remotes::install_github("rstudio/reticulate")
And don't forget to have the latest Rtools installed in your operating system!
This might be useful for you: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/switch-environment/
I have Anaconda, and set up Python 2 environment. Once activated, run 'use_python' with the path to that environment and set the 'required' parameter to TRUE.
I had the same problem. I solved the problem by installing an older version of conda.
In anaconda promt
conda install conda = 4.1.6

Installing Perl and PDL

I am currently trying - unsuccessfully to install perl PDL as I would like to automate some of my data analysis and graphics generation.
Unfortunately I seem unable to even install the necessary modules without issue, let alone create a small script to deal with my data files.
I have some rudementary experience with Perl but Nothing fancy and am using Windows 10 x64.
Initially I went for the x64 strawberry perl v5.24 installation, followed by ppm installations of Astro::FITS::Header, Convert::UU, OpenGL and PDL - as instructed here http://pdl.perl.org/?page=install. However, there were issues with the installation of Inline::C and after trying the example listed on page 5 of the PDL_Book_Latest http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdl/files/PDL/2.4.10/PDL-Book-20120205.pdf/download there wasn't any image appearing, nor image file in any location I could think to search. Back to Google and still no luck finding any information on the source of this issue so I decided to go back to square one and use an older version in the hopes that it would be more well documented.
So, uninstallation of strawberry perl through Windows installed programs dialog, deletion of strawberry folder and registry entries containing "strawberry". Then a new installation of perl, with the Padre IDE, v5.14 - maybe some debugging fonctionality will help pinpoint the errors. Started installing the same modules (Astro::FITS::Header, Convert::UU, OpenGL, PGPLOT). Astro and Convert worked fine, but the OpenGL started throwing errors about ExtUtils::F77 which I am apparently missing after a few more hours searching. I go to install this module and it keeps giving errors about 'gfortan' being an unknown command... It was my understanding that the idea of PDL was to avoid fortran and C, and I have found next to no information about this installation problem so far.
So i decided to try an alternative approach. I installed the ppm module from cpan and repeated the initial installation process through the ppm command. This time i get:
"Unknown element 'PROVIDE' found inside SOFTPKG. at C:/Dwimperl/perl/site/lib/PPM.pm line 1462."
So my question is as follows:
Am I missing some critical step in the installation process? Is my system just handing this really badly, and if so is there any sort of possible work around? Is the fact that I tried two different versions liable to create path issues that could be at the root of this problem?
Could anyone provide an alternative and preferably not too complex route to install PDL with a given perl installation on Windows 10?
EDIT 1:
Here is the code for the error I got trying to install Inline::C, an apparent pre-requisite for PDL
code deleted to make space for updates...
EDIT 3:
I reinstalled GnuWin32 in the directory specified by PATH, rather that changing PATH, and the tried the installation again. Inline::C gave the same 'diff' and 'rm' errors. So i ran "cpanm --notest 'package'" to install Inline::C and then PDL, both said they were successful. However, even using '--notest' cpanm could not install OpenGL and PGPLOT.
The final objectif is to be able to produce graphics using the fonctions from PGPLOT: for example
# use PDL;
# use PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT;
# imag(sin(rvals(200,200)+1));
yet this doesn't work of course if PGPLOT can't install.
EDIT 4:
Tried the fix found by #Dr.Avalange at sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/p/pogl/bugs/26/ and noticed that I seem to have multiple copies of this file.
Here
Is this normal...?
EDIT 5:
So i uninstalled perl, deleted any lingering files I could find in %APPDATA%, %USERPROFILE% and C:/DWIM, and then ran ccleaner just in case I missed anything.
I then downloaded Strawberry perl 5.24.1 x64 for Windows and installed it.
After this, I ran 'cpanm Astro::FITS::Header', cpanm 'Convert-UU' and 'cpanm OpenGL' as per http://pdl.perl.org/?page=install. This all worked fine. Then I ran 'cpanm PDL' which installed Inline, Pegex, Win32::Mutex and Module::Compile dependencies. However, if had the same error with Inline::C that you mentioned previously.
I already had GetGnuWin32 installed before so not sure why this isn't working. The Windows 'Path' environment (not PATH - this doesn't exist according to the advaced system dialogue) is noted as
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;
In this directory I have the folder GetGnuWin32 which should have installed all the packages from the link you provided, unless there is a supplementary step that I missed to install this correctly? So I redownloaded the DiffUtils setup and ran that, installing to \programfiles(x86) (default option). I then reran 'cpanm PDL'.
I still get the same 'diff' error message. So is DiffUtils, not installing properly? (I did close and re-open the commandline between tries and after the installation)
EDIT 6:
So after installing PDL and PGPLOT with --notest I tried to run the following test and it failed. See below

There was already a directory problem but I managed to point it in th right direction I had thought. Also tried installing the PLplot 'cpanm' said the installation was successful but there is no .pm file, only a .pd in another directory and so the use PDL::Graphics::PLplot fails as there is no .pm file to find.
EDIT: 7
So retrying ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/PGPLOT.ppd seemed to work this time as the links int he explanation you provided are no longer in use

And while this seemed to work, there are no traces of the files that were listed as necessary for the installation, unless they were just for this specific method?

finally, trying the example again gives the following; no errors, but no image either...

After translating from French I can see that you don't have diff in your system. Either install diff (part of gnu32: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/) or just skip the tests. See also:
https://github.com/ingydotnet/inline-c-pm/issues/60
With Strawberry 5.24.1 simply type the following from the command prompt:
cpanm --notest PDL
or if you want to watch everything that's going on:
cpanm -v --notest PDL
This will take some time to run.

Golang oci8: error adding symbols: File in wrong format

I am trying to connect to an Oracle database in Go using this package. I have both server and instantclient installed for both Oracle 11.2 and 12.1, and I'm following the instructions regarding the oci8.pc file. My operating system is Windows.
However, when I run "go get github.com/mattn/go-oci8" (or attempt to install a program that uses the package after having gotten the package's source code directly) I get this error:
# github.com/mattn/go-oci8
C:/oraclexe/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/server/oci/lib/MSVC/oci.lib: error adding symbols: File in wrong format
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?
Looks to be the same issue I had trying to install oci8. Are you using TDM_GCC? The problem for me was that TDM_GCC has a compiler / linker bug that prevents from compiling certain files. I used ming64 instead and it worked. You can see my detailed posts regarding that here:

(bash script) error running g-wan

Every time I try to run g-wan I get the following error:
./gwan: 1:Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
I have tried both 32 and 64 bit versions.
I am running it in ubuntu 11 and I have installed all the necessary packages, any idea what is going on?
Thanks.
You're not running G-WAN (a compiled program): you are rather a system script (the error is a system bash scripting error not a C runtime error).
Make sure that you are in the G-WAN program directory when you run ./gwan

GODI installation error

I'm running Fedora 9 x86_64 and am more or less a Linux newbie (not using it, but installing and such). The error occurs in the second stage of the bootstrap (i.e. "./bootstrap_stage2").
It does a whole lot fo stuff and then these errors start happening:
Fatal error: exception Out_of_memory
make[8]: *** [odoc_html.cmo] Error 2
make[8]: Leaving directory `/home/matthew/godi/build/godi/godi-ocaml/work/ocaml/ocamldoc'

Failure!
I've run it monitoring my memory and can say that I definately have not run out (using about 500 and I've got 3).
So anyone know what the issue is? I've searched the net, but the only other similar thing I found was the other thread on here (but it had a different error)
Any help would be much appreciated, because last time I installed it, it worked flawlessly.
This looks like a known problem with old OCaml (<3.11) on 64-bit platforms likely triggered by heap randomization, which is enabled on Fedora. It's been fixed so far as I know in recent releases (3.11 at least, possibly 3.10.2). Up-to-date GODI running out of section 3.11 should work if this is the case.
