Hi, I am trying to run the example embedded MonetDB server using the June 2010 SP2 release: $ ./Mbeddedsql5 --config=monetdb5.conf --time --dbname=test_db After entering a simple SQL statement on the standard input and pressing <ENTER>, the program hangs at mapi_query. Here is the stack trace: [1] _read(0x5, 0xffffffff7fffdf16, 0x2, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0), at 0xffffffff7a6d3d90 [2] read(0x5, 0xffffffff7fffdf16, 0x2, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0), at 0xffffffff7a6c48b8 [3] pipe_read(s = 0x10015fe50, buf = 0xffffffff7fffdf16, elmsize = 2U, cnt = 1U), line 3194 in "stream.c" [4] stream_readSht(s = 0x10015fe50, val = 0xffffffff7fffdf16), line 2679 in "stream.c" [5] bs_read(ss = 0x10015fcd0, buf = 0x100f7a012, elmsize = 1U, cnt = 8190U), line 2368 in "stream.c" [6] stream_read(s = 0x10015fcd0, buf = 0x100f7a012, elmsize = 1U, cnt = 8190U), line 181 in "stream.c" [7] read_line(mid = 0x100133950), line 2515 in "Mapi.c" [8] read_into_cache(hdl = 0x100f73f30, lookahead = 1), line 2993 in "Mapi.c" [9] mapi_execute_internal(hdl = 0x100f73f30), line 3240 in "Mapi.c" [10] mapi_query(mid = 0x100133950, cmd = 0x100147010 "select count(1) from taq.trade\n"), line 3277 in "Mapi.c" [11] main(argc = 4, av = 0xffffffff7fffe628), line 212 in "prog.c" Here is my MonetDB configuration: $ ./mserver5 --version MonetDB server v5.20.5 (64-bit), based on kernel v1.38.5 (64-bit oids) Release Jun2010-SP2 Copyright (c) 1993-July 2008 CWI Copyright (c) August 2008-2010 MonetDB B.V., all rights reserved Visit http://monetdb.cwi.nl/ for further information Found 64.0GiB available memory, 16 available cpu cores Configured for prefix: /GAAL/chenher/share/monetdb/distro-sparc-jun2010-sp2-64bit Libraries: libpcre: 8.10 2010-06-25 (compiled with 8.10) openssl: OpenSSL 1.0.0a 1 Jun 2010 (compiled with ) libxml2: 2.6.23 (compiled with 2.6.23) Compiled by: chenher@sfouxsrv073 (sparc-sun-solaris2.10) Compilation: cc -m64 -xcode=pic32 -I/GAAL/chenher/share/hans_boehm_gc/distro-sparc-7.1-64bit//include/ -g Linking : /usr/ccs/bin/ld -m64 -L/GAAL/chenher/share/openssl/distro-sparc-1.0.0a-64bit//lib/64/ -L/GAAL/chenher/share/pcre/distro-sparc-8.10-64bit//lib -L/GAAL/chenher/share/hans_boehm_gc/distro-sparc-7.1-64bit//lib/ The database test_db was created by a non-embedded mserver5 using the same configuration file.
