compiled the daemon on another machine, an amd fx 8 core.
it exits without errors:
2016-02-24 16:08:01 init message: Verifying wallet...
2016-02-24 16:08:01 CDBEnv::Open: LogDir=XXX ErrorFile=XXX
(end of the log)
no db.log nor wallet.dat is created
EDIT: on the same machine, there are three other wallets running fine.
Is this other machine running 15.10 as well?
Yes.
I spooled up an Ubuntu 15.10 instance today to test this myself. Nothing fancy going on, even using the distro-provided BDB. Daemon compiles fine (using the --with-incompatible-bdb) config flag and has been running all day.
I tried rebuilding from scratch, running the daemon with gen=0, no way.
It crashes without any hint. Not even segfault.
not sure what to tell ya man. I finally stopped my 15.10 instance about an hour ago because i just couldn't get it to NOT run.
everything on the instance was standard distro packages.
Edit: for reference, I myself typically DON'T rely on distro packages and instead compile dependencies myself, but thought I'd give the distro package route a try for this.
it crashes on:
dbenv->set_cachesize(0, 0x100000, 1);
it doesn't return from this function.
the previous call, set_lg_dir(), returns 0.
EDIT: hold on, I may have found the issue.
EDIT2: gotcha! I had a stale /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.8.so; even though "configure" detected libdb 5.3, for some reason it linked the old file, but the other libs where on 5.3, hence the crash.
