Another Malloc thread

[_jdm_]

Hello all,

After taking a long break from playing, I wanted to reinstall and start up again. The install was fine, but I cannot run rolauncher due to Malloc errors. Here's the error:

$ ./rolauncher

I searched the forums and googled, found the MALLOC_CHECK_=0 and MALLOC_CHECK_=1 solutions, here is the output when I set 0:

$ export MALLOC_CHECK_=0 && ./rolauncher 

(process:12131): GLib-ERROR (recursed) **: gmem.c:175: failed to allocate 16 bytes
aborting...
Aborted

... and set to 1:

$ export MALLOC_CHECK_=1 && ./rolauncher 
*** glibc detected *** ./rolauncher: realloc(): invalid pointer: 0x09e5c2c0 ***
*** glibc detected *** ./rolauncher: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x09e5c248 ***

(process:12132): GLib-ERROR (recursed) **: gmem.c:175: failed to allocate 16 bytes

Aborted

.. and when I use the G_SLICE=always-malloc:

$ export G_SLICE=always-malloc && ./rolauncher 

(process:12152): GLib-ERROR (recursed) **: gmem.c:175: failed to allocate 4 bytes

I have direct rendering:

I am running Arch linux, 32-bit with nvidia drivers, version 190.42 (arch repos = 190.42-1). My glibc version is 2.10.1-5.

One thing I found weird was that if I check rolauncher with ldd, I get crap:

$ ldd rolauncher 
        not a dynamic executable

I can post some strace output, but I might just be missing something simple. I like to think I'm well versed with Linux. So far, I've tried installing from Arch repos and from binary download. Both installs yielded the same results.

Can anyone offer some help and possible solutions?

Thanks in advance!

So... I was poking around trying to figure out what could possibly cause this problem, then I noticed the following lines from the memory map:

b5984000-b5985000 r-xp 00000000 fe:00 149039     /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.185.18.29
b5985000-b5986000 rwxp 00000000 fe:00 149039     /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.185.18.29

Yep, that's an old nvidia lib. Somehow it didn't get removed? No idea, but that's a separate issue. The point is, I removed that directory, reinstalled the current nvidia driver to make sure it didn't get recreated (it didn't, the library now lives in /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib/tls), and voila! Problem solved!

Also, I cannot find the 'Edit Thread' option to mark the title as solved, so sorry in advance for not doing that.
