dlopen() crash -gcc 3.4.6 20060404

["Gaurav Kheterpal" <gaurav dot kheterpal at premiereglobal dot com>]

Hello,

My apologies if this message doesn?t seem appropriate on this list.

gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)
ES Linux 4.0

I am facing a dlopen() crash & am looking for guidance from C Gurus on the
same. I have a small program:-

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
int main()
{
? void* _handle;
printf ("\n Starting now !!! \n");
_handle = dlopen( "./libchrcv.so", RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL );
???????? if ( 0 == _handle )
???????? {
??????????? printf("ShareableContentHandler::Load() - dlopen failed
'%s'.\n", dlerror() );
???????? }
else
???????? {
??????????? printf("ShareableContentHandler::Load() - dlopen success
'%s'.\n", dlerror() );
???????? }
return 0;
}

libchrcv.so is a shared library which in turn links against 2 libraries ?
librcvagent.so and libcontrolagent.so. I verified that both these .so files
are present in the path specified in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I compile this program using gcc test.c ?ldl & it compiles & links fine.
However, when I execute it, I get a segmentation fault. The output is:-

Starting now !!!
Segmentation fault

There is no core file generated. I capture the LD_DEBUG output & it is
attached for reference.

I?ll be thankful if somebody can look at the attached file & guide me on
what the problem is.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Gaurav.
