Monterey 12.1 - Malloc error

[adamtanczos]

Hello I am facing an issue with ibm_db after upgrading to Monterey. App is crashing with the below error:

node(51601,0x10d13b600) malloc: *** error for object 0x7ffb4b021300: pointer being freed was not allocated
node(51601,0x10d13b600) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

Node.js: 14.16.1 ibm_db: 2.8.1

Any help would be appreciated.

@adamtanczos Its a new installation of ibm_db post OS upgrade or existing installation? If it is existing installation, then remove ibm_db and reinstall it. Thanks.

[adamtanczos]

It is a new installation. Also tried a fresh project with these versions, only ibm_db installed, and same issue comes up.

@adamtanczos cd to ibm_db/installer/clidriver/lib directory and share the result of otool -L libdb2.dylib command. Thanks.

otool -L libdb2.dylib 
libdb2.dylib:
        libdb2.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)

@adamtanczos Rename clidriver/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib and then try. If still see issue, copy /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib to clidriver/lib and then try. Please update the result. Thanks.

[bimalkjha]

Also, add full path of clidriver/lib directory to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable and then try like export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=full_path_of_ibm_db/clidriver/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Thanks.

[adamtanczos]

@bimalkjha renaming clidriver/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib fixed the issue. Didn't have to copy from /usr/lib or set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH env. Thank you for the help

[dorudumitru-hh]

same issue here. fixed by renaming libstdc++.6.dylib

[instakarlo]

This happened to me also.. renamed "libstdc++.6.dylib" in node_modules/ibm_db to something like "libstdc++.7.dylib" worked.. but hopefully it can be fixed already without renaming the file

Im using ibm_db version 2.8.0
