[DynInst_API:] Core dump -- dyninstAPI on AIX 5.1

[vipin sachdeva <vipin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,
   I am trying to build an application which needs to link with the dyninstAPI 
library. I compiled dyninstAPI-v4.1.1 on AIX 5.1 using the xlC compiler. I 
uncommented the IBM_BPATCH_COMPAT in make.config and then compiled. I got the 
following errors first: I have included fixes to them below the errors

""../src/RTmutatedBinary_XCOFF.c", line 105.23: 1506-280 (S) Function argument 
assignment between types "int" and "int*" is not allowed.
"../src/RTmutatedBinary_XCOFF.c", line 105.23: 1506-280 (S) Function argument 
assignment between types "int" and "int*" is not allowed.

************

checkAddr = mprotect(mmapAdd...);r ---->  checkAddr = 
mprotect((void*)mmapAddr...);
**********

After that the libraries were installed successfully. dyner compilation
gave me an error but since I only 
needed dyninst libraries I did'nt rectify
The library links successfully with the application getmod but when I try to 
run getmod I get the following error
with a core dump.

Core dump error
********
gcc -g hello.c (a.out executable)

getmod a.out

Assertion failed: func != NULL, file  ../../dyninstAPI/src/symtab.C, line 2979
IOT/Abort trap (core dumped)
*********
The same application 
works well with dyninst installed on Pentium 4.
I have been working on this but unable to find a way out. I will be glad if 
someone on the mailing list could help me out. Thanks.
