texmaker package

ld.so error when trying to start Texmaker

Asked by Hien Nguyen

Hello everybody,
My machine is Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

I could install texmaker but when I tried to open it, the terminal gave me this error:

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 460: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!

And then texmaker can not start.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Your Ubuntu install might be experiencing this bug from 2006:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/63222

Please send us the full Terminal output of this command:

uname -a; LD_DEBUG=reloc texmaker

One of your Ubuntu libraries could be corrupt or your currently running Linux kernel may have a bug that is causing this error (or both).
