glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer

in Integration and Hardware • 5 months ago

I have a raspberry pi and soft-load wheezy installed and try to run a processing program that works under mac.

After debugging for days I got to this point. The program involves the camera. Other programs work fine. The camera works also (i tested gstreamer) and I have all the the necessary packages installed.

Now I am getting the following error when running my program. Any ideas?

Looks like an issue with a native library for your platform...
glibc is a C language library, free() is a C operation freeing memory allocated previously, it looks like it is given an invalid pointer, ie. a memory address not allocated by the glibc, or already freed.
Can't say more, by lack of enough information.

Could this be an error in Processing Beta or is it a Problem of the Java OpenJDK I put on my Raspberry Pi?

OpenJDK works well for plain Java programs, but it often problematic with advanced programs, particularly using native code.
If you can install an Oracle JDK on your device, try it. Otherwise, I don't know what you can do.
