Hi,
I came across your page a while ago, and find it resourceful. However, I came
across these problems when trying to use your software:
i.) remapLibs, I can remap the library, but it seems doesn't affect my program
at all. I can allocate to a maximum of 1G to sharedArena without using the script.
I need around 1.5G. I have runned the script but I think I didn't set the environment
variable correctly. I tried setting both LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH
as shown in the DEMO and the script, but it seems I get the wrong variable.
ii.) arena_debug, I wasn't able to use it. Do I need to install it in some way,
or do I just untar it and use it as a library?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Also, I have a question about the share Arena. It appears now that the memory
is slowly eaten up after the program is launched. It'll run around 30 minutes
before it eventually jump out and display the ShareArena Error. Anyone care
to enlighten me why is the memory leak? I have checked through my program, and
am quite sure that there is minimal memory leak, if any. So I am suspecting
it might be a performer problem.
With regards,
Xian Neng
