I've just updated to the newest kernel-headers (2.6.8-r1) and as suggested recomplied glibc. Just rebooted and I'm getting the following error :

Code:
 x relocation error: X symbol --guard, version GLIBC.2.3.2 not defined in file libc.so.6
with link time reference]


Erm help :)

Xorg isn't starting up, I'm rooting about for what has caused this - does this seem familar to anybody ?

Cheers for any help

Jon

I encountered the same problem. Until an explanation is found, I will go back to linux26-headers-2.6.8.1 and re-emerge glibc. The -r1 release has security fixes I believe, but what good is security if the system is unusable???

In the end I used a backup, taken last night, Dar - that's twice it's saved my bacon :)

Anybody else having this ?

Same here. Kind of odd that the error message refers to version GLIBC.2.3.2 when I have version 2.3.4. Reinstalled linux26-headers-2.6.8.1 and re-emerging glibc now. Hope it works or I'll be doing a backup. Maybe a bug report is in order?

Unfortunately, reverting to older version of the headers and re-emerging glibc did not fixed it for me, will try re-emerging Xorg now.

I tried that - Xorg screwed up on the compile with various errors.

This is really bad news, if reverting to older headers does not fix the problem, and re-emerging Xorg causes errors too, then something really fishy is going on. I suspect than some other update we had recently could cause this but I don't have a clue which one could be responsible. Xorg is emerging right now here, I will update this if it causes compile errors here too.

Xorg has spitted out errors here too. Something is seriously broken. Recompiling glibc does not work, neither recompiling Xorg. I am at a loss, my X server is unusable until this is solved.

I have the same problem:

Reemerging xorg-x11 gives me the following error:

Code:
...
...undefined reference to '__stack_smash_handler'
...undefined reference to '__guard'

i believe that is the same error that keeps xorg from loading. i have this problem too and i have tried reverting to the old linux26-headers and reemerging glibc and xorg to no avail. the thing is broken and i don't know where.

For the record, I've re-emerged all packages from this morning (before the break), the new kernel r9, portmap all of them - except the new headers. The PC boots fine and xorg works as well.

Edit - meant to say the new headers and the recompile of glibc. I suppose the next thing is to recompile glibc now (without emerging the new headers) - just in case something from the past couple of emerges or so is causing this.

I have the same problem since this morning. I updated cdrdao, the kernel to version 2.6.9-r9 , portmap and of course the kernel headers (reemerged glibc). I also reemerged the nvidia-kernel module.

As cdrdao and portmap do not seem to have anything to do with this, I reverted to the previous version of the headers (linux26-headers-2.6.8.1) and remerged glibc once again and also the nvidia-kernel module but the problem persists !!

I have tried my with my previous kernel 2.6.9-r8 with the same result. What is happening ??

Xavier from the bug report says that prelinking your system helps.

I'm prelinking right now...

Well, I decided to try the risky approach, and emerge xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4. And it worked! But beware, this is a hardmasked ebuild, it requires manual unmasking, and it has some new USE flags, most important one being the font-server, without it the X-font server won't be build. My configuration of the X is simple, so I don't have problems so far with 6.8.0-r4, but it may not be so for everyone, but if you have nothing to lose....

The prelink way made my box work again. :lol: But now it does some weird thing like it takes about 3-4 seconds to change between consoles (I mean Alt+Ctrl+Fx).

Altough prelinking seems to somehow "solve" the problem (based on the posts here and bugzilla), there must be a more general solution.
There is probably a problem when loading a library Xorg needs and thats why prelinking helps but , what is *really* happening ?

Hi all,

I had exactly the same problem, though I started another thread. I was actually trying to go from the 2.4 headers to the 2.6 headers (I am running the 2.6 kernel and decided to finally migrate so as to be up-to-date).

Well, in short, things didn't work out and the only solution was to go back to the 2.4 headers and re-emerge glibc (which, thankfully, I had the sense to backup via quickpkg :-)).

It seemed to me, based on the error code, that Xorg was looking for a different set of libraries (earlier?). Did anybody try using ldconfig?

Anyway, I'd appreciate it if folks post to this thread when the problem is resolved properly, i.e., where I can simply change my headers, re-emerge glibc with nptl, and have everything work as it should.

Best,

Alex

After having the same problem and
having made a very bad mistake I had to reinstall everything: formatting partitions and installing from scratch.
Despite having installed the linux-headers for 2.4 , and running a kernel 2.6, I cannot emerge xorg-x11. How prelink may help me if I install from scratch? Yes, a fresh install meets this problem.
I am writing you from the links browser....

Having the same problem. I had a working system using the 2.6 headers for some time, but, after changing to more conservative cflags (which likely have nothing to do with this) and an emerge -evD world, it's all screwed up.

I too have glibc 2.3.4 but the error references GLIBC.2.3.2. I'm wondering if this could be as simple as a broken symlink somewhere?

I looked at another thread regarding nptl and believe that I identified the problem and have a path to resolution.

In my case, I believe that I originally emerged nptl with the nptlonly use flag. During my most recent emerge, which included xorg, my use flags included nptl, but not nptlonly. Why does this screw things up?

When you DO NOT indicate the nptlonly flag, two instances of glibc are built, one under /lib and one under /lib/tls, where the /lib/tls instance includes support for nptl. The instance under /lib does not include nptl support.

However, if nptlonly is indicated in your use flags, a single instance of nptl is built under /lib with nptl support.

You can see how a program requiring glibc could become quite confused over the location of the program. Since the nptl instance is put in a different location based on your use flags

I believe, and am emerging now, that this can be resolved by either recompiling all of your current progs against the currently set use flags with the --newuse flag, or by changing your use flag back to include nptlonly and recompiling glibc with --newuse (assumimg the nptlonly flag was removed at some prior point. This is very likely if you followed the biggest nptl thread on the forum when convertiing to nptl.).

Good luck.
