[Openmcl-devel] linux 2.6.23

[Gary Byers]

I saw something that looks very similar when trying to run under a
FreeBSD 7.0 prerelease a few weeks ago.

In that case, the problem had something to do with library names/version
numbers changing; the lisp image remembered that it had been using
(for example, I don't remember the exact details) "libc.so.N"; the
dynamic linker actually opened "libc.so.N+1", and the function
%REVIVE-SHARED-LIBRARIES - which tries to re-open things that had
been opened by OPEN-SHARED-LIBRARY before the image was saved -
got confused by the presence of the new C library.

In that case, it worked (for some value of "worked") to use the
bootstrapping image and fasls to create a new full image.  (That
new image would presumably have the same problems if I'd tried to
run it under an older FreeBSD.)  If you have an x86-boot64 image
and a set of fasls leftover from a previous/recent REBUILD-CCL,
building the image manually might offer a similar not-quite-right
workaround.

I think that the real fix likely has to do with doing a better
job of recognizing that libraries whose name differ only in
version suffix are likely to be "the same".
