Seg Fault When Running

[ponyboy]

I'm getting this seg fault when running SEQ. I know it has to do with SEQ not looking in the right directory for showeq.xml but where do I edit the directory? Also showeq.xml and seqdef.xml are in my /usr/local/share/showeq/ directory.

Here's the error message:

Using config file '/root/.showeq/showeq.xml'
Loaded preferences file: /usr/local/share/showeq/seqdef.xml!
Unable to open file: /root/.showeq/showeq.xml!
Segmentation fault


Not sure what the .showeq is since there is no folder by that name in the root directory. But when I try to create a folder named .showeq it says there is already one there.

Try setting your file manager to display hidden files.

[uRit1u2CBBA=]

in *nix file systems, any file or folder starting with a dot (.) will be hidden.

I don't know how to do it in the gui's but in the command line if you want to see hidden files, you want to add a -a to your ls command.



ls -a /root

I was looking over the forums and I'm under the impression that showeq.xml file isnt' created until after you run it for the first time after a compile. Looks like that wasn't the problem. I'm still getting a seg fault when trying to run seq. No errors on compile and it still won't run. Here's the message I get:

Any ideas as to what's happening?

I am not sure if this is the problem or not, but how come your header files are of a different version then your kernel?

That's normal for RH.

They only upgrade the headers when they have to and for a number of things they will backport changes to the kernel into their own version. This is due to the wording of their support contracts

I have what appears to be the same segfault so I thought I would run it under GDB. Dunno what this means though. Am hoping someone else might. Thanks in advance.

I got it working by doing a wipe and re-install of Red Hat. Not sure if this an option for you but it worked for me. Hope this helps.
