Hello Christian,

I was using make before. I tried to run the single test as above, the error was
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libc_malloc_debug.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot
be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored
I tried to check this online, but, all the solutions I found were not
resolving it.

I look for libc_malloc_debug.so.0 and it is located in /usr/lib uniqueusman@fedora:~/git/t$ sudo find / -name "libc_malloc_debug.so.0" find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied find: ‘/run/user/1000/doc’: Permission denied /usr/lib/libc_malloc_debug.so.0

Thank you. Usman

Ohh, thanks for this.
