Sun Studio 12 Update 1: Debugging a Program With dbx

Troubleshooting Tips

After error checking has been enabled for a program and the program is run, one of the following errors may be detected:

librtc.so and dbx version mismatch; Error checking disabled

This error can occur if you are using runtime checking on an attached process and have set LD_AUDIT to a version of rtcaudit.so other than the one shipped with your Sun Studio dbx image. To fix this, change the setting of LD_AUDIT.

patch area too far (8mb limitation); Access checking disabled

Runtime checking was unable to find patch space close enough to a load object for access checking to be enabled. See “Runtime Checking Limitations” next.
