threads not working on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

[rhr]

cmake creates a file CMakeFiles/bamm.dir/link.txt in the build directory that contains the final linking command. Change '-lpthread' to '-pthread' in this file and re-run the command to build a working binary. This worked for me on Ubuntu 14.04.

Hello,

We found this problem as well yesterday and I'm working on a solution. C++11 threads requires that the pthread library also be linked. The following will solve the problem, but I'm working on a more permanent solution:

SET(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "-pthread")

Hi,

Just tried that too, and rebuilt "bamm" from scratch, but didn't WFM:

Sorry, closed by accident(!)

Hello,

I've updated the CMake configuration file to find pthreads and link it. Please pull again from GitHub and let me know if it works now. Let me know which compiler you're using if it doesn't work. I tested it on g++ version 4.8.0. Thanks!

Hi,

Just re-cloned "bamm" from GitHub and rebuilt, but the same error as before - Not surprising, really, because I already tried the same edit manually ;-)

I'm using:
root@wildcat:/usr/local/src/bioinformatics/BAMM/bamm/build# g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) 4.8.2

Thanks for looking into the problem,

Tony.

[redcurry]

Let's see if it's a CMake problem or something else... In an empty "build" directory, compile bamm manually (without CMake):

g++ -DBAMM_VERSION=\"1.0\" -DBAMM_VERSION_DATE=\"1\" -DGIT_COMMIT_ID=\"0\" -pthread -std=c++11 -o bamm ../src/*.cpp

It should take less than a minute to compile and produce a single executable program named bamm. Try running it with data and let me know if that works.

Thanks.

[tony-travis]

OK, that works :-)

Thanks,

Tony.

[redcurry]

That's great. I'm not entirely sure, yet, why running CMake didn't work. I've made some changes to the CMakeLists.txt file. Do you mind pulling again, compiling using CMake, then running bamm?

Thanks.

Hi,

I did a new "git clone", but I got the same problem running "bamm" as before:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
  what():  Enable multithreading to use std::thread: Operation not permitted
Aborted

Bye,

Tony.

[redcurry]

I'm still not sure what the problem is, and I cannot replicate this error on my computer (also running GCC 4.8.2), but this link may provide an answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20568235/using-c11-multithreading-in-shared-library-loaded-by-programm-without-thread-s (look at checked answer).

I am getting the same problem here. Clean everything and same error
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
what(): Enable multithreading to use std::thread: Operation not permitted
Aborted (core dumped)
Tried manual pthread linking and all that. No luck
This does work on the recent debian so this is an ubuntu problem.

Hi, Stephen.

Looks like a "cmake" problem, really, because the program compiles and
runs properly without using "cmake". We are running the binary OK now.

Bye,

Tony.

Thanks Tony, you are correct that worked fine.

Hi I am running bamm in Ubuntu 14 LTS and I am facing the same problem.
I tried the solution proposed: "
g++ -DBAMM_VERSION="1.0" -DBAMM_VERSION_DATE="1" -DGIT_COMMIT_ID="0" -pthread -std=c++11 -o bamm ../src/*.cpp"

and it works, however it seems to take much longer when compared with an similar windows computer. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance,
Gustavo

I just compiled the version 2.5 on ubuntu 14.04 and run into this issue:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
what(): Enable multithreading to use std::thread: Operation not permitted

the above mentioned solution of rhr solved the issue.

Hi everyone,

I am very novice with the use of linux. I work since a week on ubuntu 14.04.
I installed bamm and had the same problem when running an analysis (with the same error message as above :
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error', what(): Enable multithreading to use std::thread: Operation not permitted, Aborted)

I attempted to use the solution proposed by rhr. But apparently I haven't done properly the manipulation under the shell, because :

1. bamm still doesn't work (I get the same error message when running analyses)
2. when I re-open the file CMakeFiles/bamm.dir/link.txt
   the '-lpthread' reappeared even if I changed it previously by '-pthread' (just before running the cmake .. command)

Could you explain me step by step what I have to do in the shell to solve this problem.

Thank you in advances

[Bisaloo]

The solution proposed by rhr works for me as well.

@loloNC : you are not supposed to re-run cmake ... Edit the file, then run cmake -j and it should work.

Just instaled BAMM v2.5 and it is working very nice on Ubuntu 16.04.

Instaled from source with the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/macroevolution/bamm.git
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j
sudo make install
