Is there anything in the system logs (/var/log/messages) ? N. On Tue, 13 Dec 2005 08:05:59 -0800 (PST), sagar wrote ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo! Shopping

I had a similar problem with a 0.9.x version of SER. My issue seemed to be that I had a pentium 3 chip, but when I compiled SER, it was using athlon extensions instead, thus the binary broke badly when I tried to run it. First, see what processor you have (if you don't know). more /proc/cpuinfo Then recompile SER (make clean && make) and as the messages scroll past, see if you spot any "-mtune=athlon". If you do and you have an intel chip... Well, then you may have the problem I did. Here's how I fixed it: Rather than try to figure out why the Makefile wasn't detecting my CPU properly, I just editted Makefile.defs, found the place where it was adding -mtune=athlon (for me it was around line 461), and I changed that to be specific to my cpu, in my case -mtune=pentium3. I then recompiled and it fixed it. HTH, kyle. sagar wrote:
