Thread: Floating Point Exception

I do not work on Linux and we do not have any SuSE machines readily
accessible, so I can only make suggestions.

The simplest thing for you would probably be to get the source
distribution and build it on your system.

You say you used a previous 32-bit binary on the same machine. There is a
32-bit binary of SAC v101.5c you might try. (I am not sure how this can
work with mixing libraries, but I am told that in principle a 32-bit
binary can run on a 64-bit machine.)

My impression is that there is enough variation among the different flavors
of Linux that it is amazing that our pre-built binaries run on as many
platforms as they do. In the original v101.5 the 64-bit binary did not
work on older systems because of library issues. Your is the first report
of a problem with v101.5c. If anyone else has a machine running 64-bit
SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.3 and has not had the problem you report,
it would be useful if they could contact the list.

A previous 32 bit version of SAC ran ok on this machine.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

# cat /etc/SuSE-release

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 (x86_64)
VERSION = 10
PATCHLEVEL = 3

The user’s .bashrc contains the following lines:

export SACHOME=/home/USER/SAC
source ${SACHOME}/bin/sacinit.sh

Thanks!
