"/usr/bin/ld: errno: TLS definition in /lib/libc.so.6" in compiling a fortran file

Question

Getting this error when compile my program on ubuntu 32bit desktop system. I assume that perhaps can be library problem. can any one tell me right answer.........

Problem is...........

/usr/bin/ld: errno: TLS definition in /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 section .tbss mismatches non-TLS reference in /media/9C2C3AB22C3A8774/tez/Ahmadfiles/cern_mohammad/cern/pro/lib/libpacklib.a(remote.o)

Answer 1

You need to:

#include <errno.h>

Not have it as an extern int.

Answer 2

You try to mix an old library (libpacklib.a) with a newer glibc. The glibc uses TLS (Thread Local Storage), and your library appears to use the older method.

You could try to downgrade your glibc to a version compiled without TLS, or update your library to a newer version (compiling it yourself, if you have the source). The first option is quite risky, unless you install an old system as a virtual machine or link against a special version of glibc for your program.
