Bug #3553
dlopen: cannot load any more object with static TLS
100%
Description
Hello,
When attempting to run a mu2e job on an SL6 system I got
cet::exception caught in art
---- Configuration BEGIN
UnknownModule
---- Configuration BEGIN
Unable to load requested library /home/andr/local/mu2e/Offline/lib/libG4_module.so
dlopen: cannot load any more object with static TLS
---- Configuration END
Module G4 with version v1_00_11 was not registered.
Perhaps your module type is misspelled or is not a framework plugin.
---- Configuration END

Hi,
I am able to run mu2e's g4test_03.fcl on the fermicloud057 machine, which is SLF6.3. So we have at least two SL6 system which do not work (positron.triumf.ca I used for the original report, and Krzysztof's workstation), and one that works.
Comparing fermicloud057 and positron, I see that glibc RPMs are identical (glibc-2.12-1.80.el6_3.5.x86_64). The working machine has an older kernel 2.6.32-279.1.1.el6.x86_64, vs 2.6.32-279.22.1.el6.x86_64. What other packages should we compare?

- Category set to Third Party
- Status changed from New to Accepted
- Priority changed from Normal to Immediate
The problem has been identified. Our gcc 4.7.1 compiler configuration uses a static run-time option, where the run-time routines are linked statically into every executable. This configuration permits a simpler deployment and management of the compiler distribution.
Unfortunately it has the undesirable effect that it imposes some resources limits that cannot be adjusted - mainly the TLS area that is used up as shared objects are introduced into the running executable.
The solution is to use a different compiler configuration with a dynamic run-time. This will require changes in how the compiler is administered. With the new version, each executable must be able to find the correct version of the compiler-specific run-time libraries. The art team will be working on this new configuration over the next few weeks (mostly likely Lynn and Paul).

- Status changed from Accepted to Resolved
- Target version set to 1.08.00
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
- Scope set to Internal
- Experiment - added
- SSI Package - added
This problem is tentatively resolved by release version 1.08.00, which uses a dynamically-built GCC 4.8.1. Please verify as soon as possible after your experiment switches to this release.
