[FIXED] port_getn: No such file or directory (trevent.c:221)

[oh_noes]

Hi Transmission BT team,

I have compiled and install Transmission-Daemon on Solaris 10 U9. Now when I run it, I get the following debug output to stdout:


(I get 5-10 of these every second)

$ /usr/local/transmission/bin/transmission-daemon --config-dir /export/home/transmission/info --log-debug --foreground
<stuff>
port_getn: No such file or directory (trevent.c:221)
port_getn: No such file or directory (trevent.c:221)
port_getn: No such file or directory (trevent.c:221)

I'm assuming it's linked to libevent, I have installed it from sunfreeware, version 1.4.13. Compiled and linked through.

Any idea what this error means?

Looks like libevent generates this error message in evport_dispatch() if its call to port_getn() fails and sets errno to something that's not EINTR, EAGAIN, or ETIME.

However, port_getn() doesn't indicate that it returns ENOFILE.

This sounds like it's a libevent 1.4 bug. You might try asking the libevent devs if they have any thoughts about this error message.

Thanks. Your post was exactly what pointed me in the right direction.

My version was 1.4.13, which had THIS BUG. Upgrading to 1.4.14b fixed this problem.

I still wish I could run transmission-daemon 2.13 on my Solaris 10 U9 x86 server without getting a segfault :/

Cheers
