OK, first off. I have no clue what this program does. I'm shooting in the dark here. I found this: http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2001/Dec/msg00034.html It seems you are not alone. I browsed though a couple other places and saw people mentioning python a bit. Does this software use python by any chance? I also noticed a lot of talking about I/O issues. Are you sure and for certain that you have the right chip set compiled for your hard drive? I ran into a lot of errors once and I had the wrong chip set selected in my kernel and although it was trying to work, it didn't work very well when there was a lot of I/O activity. Programs would crash and in the Konsole I would get all sorts of errors including the plan old seg fault type. Again, read the first three sentences. Just thinking and typing and that is dangerous for me. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
