Memory leak?

**killthegene** · March 20th, 2005, 13:21

I recently compiled 0.4 from source on my debian unstable box for the first time. I used the configure script and chose to do a multiuser install, and enable avifile recording. The insdtall proceded sucsessfully, however, when i try to start mupen, memory/swap usage spirals upwards so drastically i have to reboot as the system is unusable. ps reveals that hundreds of "mupen64" processes are runing.

maybe use another sound plugin

I'm also using debian and got some problems with mupen thst could be the same. I used the binary from mupen64.emulation64.com, loaded a dump, started legend of zelda and got a fatal crash filling my ram in seconds (1 i think

), filling my swap and killing my machine until init 0. I'm using 2.6.11.4 atm.

No, the precompiled binary works ok, but this is not optimal for me as i really want a multi-user install (and one optimized for my cpu). Im using 2.6.10-1-k7

Well, can you try compiling yourself a single user binary and see if it's the problem ? If it's only the multi user thing, at least i'll know where to look at.

**killthegene** · March 20th, 2005, 16:54

Right, compiling for a single user makes it work fine, with or without avifile support, so im guessing therres something wrong with the multi-user bit

Has any progress been made on this? i realy want to get a multi-user mupen install working.

Does 'multi-user' mean that every user gets his/her own ~/.mupen64/ directory for save states and the like? In that case, it works fine for me with the mupen64 version that Gentoo compiles for you.

Gentoo applies several patches to the source before compiling, so maybe it's one of them that makes it work?
