cssh fails lo load (Bus error)

[andrelop@…]

After jumping through many hoops to get it compiled (see ticket #14016), when trying to run cssh I get the following error :

white:~ andrelop$ cssh -l root@192.168.10.251
Bus error
white:~ andrelop$

I'm using a MacOSX 10.5.1 (Leopard) fully updated as of some minutes ago and using MacPorts 1.600.

More info. The only thing I got from googling fot this error is  http://www.mail-archive.com/macports-users@lists.macosforge.org/msg05921.html, which unfortunately doesn't have any solution or proposed patch.

Seems to work OK on Tiger, so could be yet another Leopard X11 bug ?

Assigning to maintainer.

I updated to v3.22 of cssh. Have verified that I can run cssh on my Leopard box version 10.5.2 with MacPorts 1.600.

[stechert@…]

oh yeah, r35010 for reference.

[jonathan@…]

Version 3.22 still gives a Bus Error for me, with latest Leopard updates (10.5.2) and Macports 1.600.

According to  http://www.nabble.com/ClusterSSH---Leopard-Fix-td14848155.html the cause is Macports Tk:

$ /opt/local/bin/perl -e 'use Tk;' Bus error

So, this is not resolved until Tk is fixed in Macports.

#18391 is against p5-tk and appears to be the same issue.

For anyone with this issue, how is your perl5.8 port installed? port installed perl5.8

I have a theory that using a perl5.8 without +shared may be the/a cause to these odd bus errors some people are experiencing. straxus, if you don't mind, could you try updating your perl5.8 port by running

sudo port -fn upgrade perl5.8 +shared

Then try cssh again.

Hmm, could be a need to rebuild p5-tk as well. However, if you do get past the bus error here, cssh still won't work if you're on 10.5 as p5-x11-protocol doesn't currently work with the launchd setup of X11 (see the  bug for X11::Protocol).

You may want to try the newly-added csshX port if you don't need it running in X11 (csshX is Terminal.app-based).

[straxus@…]

Thanks, csshX worked perfectly for me! I think the bug remains open though, with csshX as a workaround for now - it'd be nice to get cssh working (as well as anything else relying upon Perl 5's X11 support).

So I guess this is a dupe of #18391.
