Segmentation Fault Errors When Initiating the Virtuoso Bridge on RHEL Linux VM

Article Overview:

This article will cover how you can achieve the following:

Address and resolve the "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error encountered while initiating the Virtuoso Bridge on a VM running Linux RHEL 9.1.

Problem Statement:

If you encountered a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error while attempting to initiate the Virtuoso Bridge on a VM running Linux RHEL 9.1. 

Solution:

The issue may be related to a potential misconfiguration or environment-specific problem on the VM. The engineering team provided the following steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

Steps to resolve:

1. Verify Command Accuracy:
   Double-check all commands used to initiate the bridge. it’s essential to correct any typographical errors.
   
   
2. Confirm the Correct Binary:
   Ensure you are using the correct bridge client binary. You can verify this by running the command file bridge_client on the system where the binary is located and sharing the output for further analysis.
   
   
3. Test on Another Environment:
   If possible, try running the bridge on another VM or a different machine with a similar setup to see if the issue persists.
   
   
4. Use the Provided Binary:
   The engineering team has tested an alternative binary that resolves the segmentation fault issue. Use this binary, which was attached to the support ticket, and test it on your system. Download Link
5. Further Investigation:
   If the issue continues after applying these steps, consider additional factors such as network-related issues, VM-specific configurations, or other environmental variables that might affect the bridge's operation.
   
   

Example:

• Scenario: Ever experienced a segmentation fault error on a RHEL Linux VM, but the same binary worked fine on a physical desktop with an identical OS. The issue was resolved by using a alternate binary provided by our engineering team, which was tested in an environment replicating the original issue.
  
  
• Resolution: The alternative binary resolved the segmentation fault, and the bridge operated as expected on the VM.
