<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve trying to install Varnish on a Raspberry pi. This has been discussed on their own forums with a general view of “it simply doesn’t work”, so I set about finding why.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I initially assumed the repositories were the issue and obtained varnish-3.0.3 from source. The install is fairly default, documented here:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In order to follow the recommended process here <a href="https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/DebuggingVarnish">
https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/DebuggingVarnish</a>, I reconfigured with --enable-debugging-symbols --enable-diagnostics.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I went back and forth between a “default” install and “diagnostic” install three different times to confirm this, because I appreciate it doesn’t seem plausible. Regrettably, the situation experienced is that I have a fix: Compile in diagnostic
mode. With the above configure options (I ran make clean between each new build) the Varnish service appeared to operate fine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whilst I could just leave diagnostics on, I’m assuming there’s load associated with this. I’ve pasted below an strace of the crashed system, but I’m just not sure how else I can debug in this situation. Is there anything else that the diagnostics
mode does that could possibly get involved here?<o:p></o:p></p>
