You might want to check Linux FAQ posted on Michael's site

especially for LD_POINTER_GUARD , unless you are running on ESD4 as
its already fixed in ESD4

I'm already using ESD4, i tried setting LD_POINTER_GUARD=0
but did not work. I've attached my backup server log to this
message.
Thanks again

According to your errorlog you are using ESD3, not ESD4. How did you go
about setting LD_POINTER_GUARD?

Usually, you do something like:

export LD_POINTER_GUARD=0

Then say, build a backup server using a resource file:

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/bin/srvbuild -r <your_backupserver_resource_file>

You can find an example of a backup server resource file at

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/init/sample_resource_files

The ESD #4 fix applies to dataserver only, not to backupserver (that fix
will come separately).

You need to set the LD_POINTER_GUARD within the startup script. As backup
server install is trivial just run the install till it fails then add your
export into the start of the RUN_SYB_BACKUP file and do a
startserver -f RUN_SYB_BACKUP
However I've found that its best to try both 0 and 1 to see which works for
your system!
