Floating Point Exception

[SmilingMarcus]

I have been using SEQ for quite a while now, and have been very happy with it and would like to say thanks to all the programmers who make it possible.

I downloaded, compiled and installed the lastest CVS release successfully, but I can not run the program. I also tried the RPMs from http://gibbled.com/seq with the same results. I am running SEQ on an AMD 1.1 ghz computer with 512 MB RAM and Fedora Core 3. Here is what shows up in my terminal when I try to run SEQ:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, put your eqstr_us.txt and spells_us.txt into your /usr/local/share/showeq directly so seq can see them.

Second, I don't think anyone is gonna help you with so little information. I'd go back and rerun configure with --enable-debug, make install, then gdb showeq. When it crashes, type bt and cut and paste what it says in here.

You don't happen to play on test do you?

[SmilingMarcus]

OK, I did as Purple suggested and here are the results.

Thanks for your help Purple. After looking at the error message and doing some searching on the internet, I upgraded qt, qt-devel and qt-designer from 3.3.3-8 to 3.3.4-2 and that solved my problem. Once again, thanks to everybody involved, this is a great program!

[CeleSEQ]

Hmm, something interesting was going on here, because qt-3.3.3-8 runs fine on my FC3 box and on my build FC3 box at work which is pretty much stock + updates. qt-3.3.4 is not a released component for FC3, so I'd rather not make the rpms require 3.3.4 unnecessarily. Is it possible that you had unusual window size or position information in your .showeq directory, and that qt 3.3.4 has some better handling routines for dealing with that sort of issue?

Yeah, ok, that sounds kinda like it's grasping at straws, but qt-3.3.4 is definitely not required normally on FC3.

[purple]

It's good that upgrading qt worked for you. You're using a newer gcc than I am and also it looks like your kernel is 2.6 but your kernel headers are 2.4. But I don't know if that's a problem or just how Fedora Core works. But the important part is things are working now!

[SmilingMarcus]

It's a stock install of FC3 which I then ran up2date on. I had to uninstall automake and install 1.8.3-1 instead of 1.9.2-3 to get it to work, but the only thing this computer does is SEQ. I was running fine after applying the 02072005.patch.gz.txt patch. I tried to apply the 02082005.patch.gz.txt patch, but got a lot of errors and failed hunks and could not compile. I then read the thread "Fix for CVS build system build issue" and decided to delete all directories associated with SEQ and did a new install using CVS, so I did not have anything set already. At that point, I was unable to get SEQ to run at all until I upgraded QT.

Maybe something happened to my installed version of QT? If I had reinstalled QT 3.3.3 it might have solved the problem as well.

Thanks again everyone.
