Re: Mersenne: Linux mprime and glibc 2.1
Have you tried to run sprime? (is mprime but linked with static libraries). I've got some problems in an old machine with an old linux and sprime ran well. In my machine, sprime runs a bit fast than mprime!. Actually, yes. sprime and mprime and mprime-specific-for-redhat-6.0 all act identically. I blame something to do with ld, my install is rather ragged. Take a look at this: [tomg@nova ~/gimps]$ file mprime mprime: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped [tomg@nova ~/gimps]$ ldd mprime not a dynamic executable I get the same file and mprime results for mprime, sprime and mprime-rh6 (except file properly determines that sprime is statically linked). I doubt this is a mersenne problem, just something to do with the way my ld is misbehaving.

I've seen this on a machine with 16MB ram and no swap. After checking the code I think I found the reason. [ms]prime preallocates 16MB memory, even if it doesn't use it all. This will cause the program to fail badly if the memory's not available. The cure was to add enough swap to appease the initial allocation, which is then never used, so the swap space isn't really used. I think I used 10MB swap:) The machine was one I put together after I did a quick inventory of all the bits and pieces I had left from all my updates of my primary machine, and found that the only thing actually missing for it to be a complere computer was the screen:) ragged.

Get the Western Digital 18.5 Gig hard drives at 7200 RPM for under $ 300 each. My system has two. Now I have to fill 30 + Gig of hard drive space.

Hi: "Ethan M. O'Connor" wrote: (In response to all the mprime segfaulting under glibc 2.1 messages) I had some problems a while back with this issue as well, and then it suddenly went away. I'm using the potato release of Debian, and right now they are tracking the prereleases of glibc 2.1.2 pretty closely. I think that the problems started happening with the change from glibc 2.1.1 to an early pre-2.1.2, and went away with another upgrade. Have you tried to run sprime?
