[COOT] Coot crash issue

[Roger Rowlett]

I am experiencing a strange Coot crash issue on some of my Linux workstations. Coot 0.5.2 or 0.6-pre1 crashes with an identical failure mode with the following Coot output (last few lines): [...] load "tips.scm" load "americanisms.scm" load "group-settings.scm" (set-display-lists-for-maps    0) load "tips-gui.scm" /usr/local/bin/coot-0.6-pre1/bin/coot: line 124: 14996 Illegal instruction     $coot_real $* coot-exe: "/usr/local/bin/coot-0.6-pre1/bin/coot-real" coot-version: /usr/local/bin/coot-0.6-pre1/bin/coot-real platform: /bin/uname core: #f No core file found.  No debugging I can run Coot 0.5.2 or 0.6-pre1 with no issues on my Q9300 quad-core machine, but on any of my Pentium 4 workstations I get this crash on startup. Coot 0.5.0 runs fine on the Pentium 4's, so it's an issue that developed with 0.5.2 and later. I'm a bit mystified. Running Fedora 8, using Fedora 6 (0.5.X) or Fedora 8 (0.6-pre1) binaries. "uname -a" gives: Linux jalapeno 2.6.26.8-57.fc8 #1 SMP Thu Dec 18 19:19:45 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Cheers, -- Roger S.
