Hi Samuel, re: > I should probably mention that the 32 bit gempak binaries for 5.11.1 seem to > work > fine on a Fedora Core 8 32 bit OS. OK, this is important information. > Here is the OS I was able to get 5.11.1 working on: > [gempak@EBE271-01LIN ~] uname -a > Linux EBE271-01LIN 2.6.24.7-92.fc8 #1 SMP Wed May 7 16:50:09 EDT 2008 i686 > i686 i386 GNU/Linux OK. > Should I try installing the 32 bit version of 5.11.1 on a 64 bit machine? That is what I would try. > Would that reduce gempak's efficiency? Not much. > P.S. The OS on which 5.11.1 (64 bit binary) gives a 'Segmentation fault' for > nmap2, is the following: > [gempak@EBE270-22LIN ~]$ uname -a > Linux EBE270-22LIN.cup.edu 2.6.22.14-72.fc6 #1 SMP Wed Nov 21 14:10:25 EST > 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I would guess that if your 64-bit machine was upgraded from Fedora Core 6 to Fedora 8, the segmentation faulting would stop.
