Summary0000491: lapack for el9 causes segmentation fault for code that compiled/ran fine under el
Description--> Recently did an inplace update on one of my AlmaLinux boxes from 8 ā†’ 9. In the process, (i) Lapack and related libs (which I use a fair bit) were updated from the el8 versions to el9 (from @appstream), and (ii) Iā€™m 95% sure there is a bug in the el9 packaging of the libs (code that compiles and runs perfectly on other AlmaLinux or RHEL-based 8 boxes now throws major segmentation faults on the AlmaLinux 9 box when I try to run the executable).

--> To rule out something related to the inplace upgrade, I also spun up AlmaLinux 9 in a VM, and get the same segmentation faults there. Hence, being somewhat confident that the problem lies with the el9 versions of lapack .so files and related.

--> Further, if I download latest lapack source and compile libs manually, and link them, works fine. So ā€“ seems definitely connected to the libs installed from a the el9 repos.

Steps To ReproduceDescribed above.
Additional InformationOther folks having the same issue ā€“ for example:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AlmaLinux/comments/1fst5a4/has_anyone_else_had_segfault_problems_with_lapack/?rdt=54268 1

My code is FORTRAN (2023), whereis this reddit link is basic gcc, but same story. And, if you look around, there are a fair few other folks reporting issues with Lapack under AlmaLinux 9 that didn't exist for the exact same compiled code under AlmaLinux 8.
