32 bit beta 12 upgrade to b16 breaks - epoll issue

[benv666]

Hej folks,

After reading this thread - http://forum.teamspeak.com/showthread.php?t=50088
and search more on it, I can't find the problem.

I have a xen domU running slackware 11. The beta 12 server ran without problems for a few weeks, but after upgrading to beta 16 it won't run. The same error as in the thread I linked. Just to be sure I started a clean server without database:

2010-01-22 15:16:11.447045|INFO |ServerLibPriv | | Server Version: 3.0.0-beta16 [Build: 9929]

what(): epoll: Function not implemented
Aborted

Now in the thread it was suggested that this was either the kernel that was too old or the glibc version. Well, it isn't.

My kernel:
# uname -a
Linux blue 2.6.32.2-xenU #1 SMP Thu Dec 24 15:55:52 CET 2009 i686 athlon-4 i386 GNU/Linux
And to make sure it has EPOLL:
# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep EPOLL
CONFIG_EPOLL=y

And my glibc is version 2.3.6, which should be old enough.

So can anyone give me a hint to get this running?

Thanks for reading.

Hi Cheech, thanks for being the first responder.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my first post.

After reading this thread - http://forum.teamspeak.com/showthread.php?t=50088
and search more on it, I can't find the problem.

With that sentence I meant:
I have used the search function and the posts that came back did not solve my problem.

However, in the meanwhile I have found the solution myself. The problem was related to glibc being compiled against 2.4 kernel headers and thus not supporting epoll. Recompiling it against 2.6 kernel headers fixed the issue.

If any devs are reading this, speaking from years of linux dev experience, when writing applications that will be distrobuted as pre-compiled binaries only (no source code that one could compile), it is a very bad idea to use epoll, as you just end up preventing a lot of people from running ts3server.

Please give us versions without epoll. Thank you very much.

You have to wait for the planned a freebsd server version.
