Hi Samuel, re: > I'm getting a lot of the following errors, is this a problem? It's > generating many core.XXXX files. Yes, this is definitely a problem as the core.nnnn files attest to. Question: - was decoding working without error and then the problem arose, or is this a an installation on a new machine? You can get a bit more insight into where the segmentation violation is occurring by using the GNU debugger: <as 'ldm'> cd ~ file core.* gdb decoders/dmsfc core.nnnn This assumes: - the dmsfc executable is in ~ldm/decoders - you replace 'nnnn' with the appropriate number for one of the core files from dmsfc > Jul 17 13:42:21 shu pqact[20577] NOTE: child 6732 terminated by signal 11 > (decod > ers/dcmsfc-b9-ddata/gempak/logs/dcmsfc.log-eGEMTBL=/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.11.1/gem > pak/tablesdata/gempak/ship/YYYYMMDDHH_sb.gem) > Jul 17 13:43:30 shu pqact[20577] NOTE: child 7468 terminated by signal 11 > (decod > ers/dcmsfc-b9-ddata/gempak/logs/dcmsfc.log-eGEMTBL=/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.11.1/gem > pak/tablesdata/gempak/ship/YYYYMMDDHH_sb.gem) > Jul 17 13:44:14 shu pqact[20577] NOTE: child 8249 terminated by signal 11 > (decod > ers/dcmsfc-b9-ddata/gempak/logs/dcmsfc.log-eGEMTBL=/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.11.1/gem > pak/tablesdata/gempak/ship/YYYYMMDDHH_sb.gem) > Jul 17 13:44:14 shu pqact[20577] NOTE: child 8315 terminated by signal 11 > (decod > ers/dcmsfc-b9-ddata/gempak/logs/dcmsfc.log-eGEMTBL=/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.11.1/gem > pak/tablesdata/gempak/ship/YYYYMMDDHH_sb.gem) > Jul 17 13:45:12 shu pqact[20577] NOTE: child 8321 terminated by signal 11 > (decod > ers/dcmsfc-b9-ddata/gempak/logs/dcmsfc.log-eGEMTBL=/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.11.1/gem > pak/tablesdata/gempak/ship/YYYYMMDDHH_sb.gem) > Jul 17 13:45:21 shu pqact[20577] NOTE: child 9028 terminated by signal 11 > (decod > ers/dcmsfc-b9-ddata/gempak/logs/dcmsfc.log-eGEMTBL=/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.11.1/gem > pak/tablesdata/gempak/ship/YYYYMMDDHH_sb.gem) > Jul 17 13:45:22 shu pqact[20577] NOTE: child 9029 terminated by signal 11 > (decod > ers/dcmsfc-b9-ddata/gempak/logs/dcmsfc.log-eGEMTBL=/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.11.1/gem > pak/tablesdata/gempak/ship/YYYYMMDDHH_sb.gem) Cheers, Tom **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
