I need it badly for Maxima. > Hi Nicolas, I'm in the middle of reviving the Fedora build of GCL, and I had a problem with segfaults in raw_pre_gcl as well. They weren't caused by a buggy malloc, but rather by GCL's use of libbfd being behind the times. A temporary workaround that works for me is to configure GCL to use its built-in bfd library, rather than the system bfd library. I'm planning to look at the problem in more depth this week to see if GCL can be made to use a current libbfd. (If someone has already solved this problem, please let me know.) If configuring with GCL's bfd library doesn't fix your problem, can you provide a backtrace from the segfault? -- Jerry James http://loganjerry.googlepages.com/
