Did you install TCMalloc from your OS repositories?

Here is mine on Ubuntu

(venv) dsalvat1@leviathan:~/stable-diffusion-webui$ dpkg -l |grep malloc
ii  libgoogle-perftools-dev:amd64              2.9.1-0ubuntu3                          amd64        libraries for CPU and heap analysis, plus an efficient thread-caching malloc

On my system the reason for this was that ldconfig (in the Debian package libc-bin), despite being installed, was not found. It is installed in /usr/sbin/ldconfig and /usr/sbin is not in the PATH if webui.sh is started as normal user.
(ldconfigis internally used to locate libtcmalloc.so.4).

On Ubuntu-22.04 with WSL2, installing google-perftools improved the situation
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends google-perftools

this is helpful in ubuntu20.04:
sudo apt-get install libgoogle-perftools4 libtcmalloc-minimal4 -y

Hi, can you tell me how to solve this, thank you.

Hi, can you tell me how to solve this, thank you.

I added the line

PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin

to webui-user.sh.

[frostdecker99]

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends google-perftools

thanks, this is worked for me !

Thank you very much. This solved the problem in Debian.

If you are in the Centos system, try performing the following actions

sudo yum install gperftools
sudo vi /etc/profile
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
source /etc/profile

This is not an error, it's just a warning that tcmalloc isn't being used.

Anyway, closing because there's a bunch of solutions in this thread, mainly "installing tcmalloc". 😁

[woaiseeit]

On Archlinux: pacman -S gperftools

Using TCMalloc: libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4

Great. This works for me.

I had to install these packages on open suse libtcmalloc4 libgthread-2_0-0

hey, thank you

Just curious, do I need to re-install stable-diffusion-webui after I installed TCMalloc, because it already built with GCC without it? Or can I just install TCMalloc after installing stable-diffusion-webui ?

You do not need to reinstall stable-diffusion-webui, it is not a compiled binary. The tcmalloc reference is initialized in webui.sh and was introduced in commit 8af4b3b

[p0lfilt3r]

In openSUSE 15.5 change line in webui.sh
TCMALLOC="$(PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH ldconfig -p | grep -Po "libtcmalloc(_minimal|).so.\d" | head -n 1)"
to
TCMALLOC="$(PATH=/sbin:$PATH ldconfig -p | grep -Po "libtcmalloc(_minimal|).so.\d" | head -n 1)"
