Thread: Psql malloc error on Git master
Using 9.1devel as of yesterday's Git branch master, I'm getting an error in psql when attempting to tab-complete a system tab. Steps to recreate: 1) From terminal, run "psql postgres" to connect to the postgres database as the current user. 2a) Type: \d pg_o 2b) OR type: \d pg_op 3) Press TAB to auto-complete Result: postgres=# \d pg_opsql(29265) malloc: *** error for object 0x5: pointer being freed was not allocated *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug Abort trap I haven't been able to cause this error to happen with any other prefix. Using pg_opc then TAB does not cause this to occur, neither does pg_ then TAB. I have also tested this on 64-bit versions of PostgreSQL 8.4.4 and 9.0.1, and it doesn't occur on those versions.

Did you try "make distclean"? If you can still reproduce it after that, please try "git bisect" to find the problem commit. -- Ãlvaro Herrera <alvherre@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

Do you have it installed?
You may need to fool with the link path to ensure that you link to
a real readline and not /usr/lib/libreadline.dylib (which is just
an alias for libedit).

I'm=20 building PostgreSQL then with: --with-libraries=3D/opt/local/lib --with-includes=3D/opt/local/include which for example links psql/libreadline with: % otool -L $PGSQL_HOME/bin/psql /Users/bernd/pgsql-dev/install/HEAD/bin/psql: /Users/bernd/pgsql-dev/install/HEAD/lib/libpq.5.dylib (compatibility=20 version 5.0.0, current version 5.4.0) /opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current=20 version 10.1.0) /opt/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current=20 version 1.0.0) /opt/local/lib/libreadline.6.1.dylib (compatibility version 6.0.0, current= =20 version 6.1.0) Works quite well for me. There's also a libedit in MacPorts, but i've never= =20 used it. Bernd [1] <http://www.macports.org/>
