Error while running a simple GTK program with ECL

[ZHUO Qingliang (KDr2)]

Hi Marius Gerbershagen,
Thank you for your reply,
About the second issue, you are right, if I delete ~/.cache/common-lisp/ecl-16.1.3-unknown-linux-x64/usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-asdf/build/asdf.fas, the issue disappears.

 Greetings.

The important parts of the log are the errors such as

(Error: "/tmp/ecl3258uX7y8Y.fas: failed to map segment from shared object")

I can't tell you exactly how to fix this, but it is clear that the
cl-gtk2-gtk system is compiling A HUGE NUMBER of files and also single
functions. This number might be simply too big for ECL to handle and the
above error a result of some limit on the number of shared libraries
that one can load imposed by the glibc or the kernel, I don't know.

I have seen errors like this before when asdf was trying (and failing)
to replace itself with a newer version. You can check whether you have a
copy of a newer asdf in a place where asdf will search for its systems
and remove that copy. If you really need the new asdf, you need to
generate the asdf.lisp file containing all of asdf from the sources (see
the asdf documentation for how to do that), drop that in place of the
"contrib/asdf/asdf.lisp" file in the ECL sources and recompile ECL.

Best regards,
