Segmentation fault

[minigirl]

Just 2 fast questions


I did the tarball install of the 4.3.9 SEQ. but when it starts its version 4.3.8

Immidately I then get a segmentation fault. I just want to confirm its my own fault.

All other specs are veryfied and working. Qt level is okay ( 3.0.5)

To me it looks like im getting my files mixed so...

1) if i want to make a virgin install I should wipe my source dir and my /usr/lokal/share whatever program dir.

is that it ?

You need to make sure to untar the tarball into it's own directory. It should not be untarred over another directory.

So, yes. wipe your old showeq directory and untar.

Here's an example:


$ cd ~
$ rm -fr showeq
$ tar xjvf ShowEQ-4.3.9.tar.bz2
$ cd showeq
$ make -f Makefile.dist
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install


Enjoy,

What i like about SEQ is that I am actually forced to think and learn once in a while.

Thanks Zaph.


$ make install
$ make install was what i forgot to do :P

You know, TONS of people miss the "make install" step. Zaphod, what's the feasibility of throwing an echo at the end of the make script telling the user to run "make install"? Making Makefile.dist tells you to run configure, configure tells you to run make, but nothing tells you to run make install. Might save a few posts.
