http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ The most common cause of these is because of overclocking the CPU (increasing the speed of it) and/or bad memory. If you don't know what overclocking is and/or you don't actually overclock your cpu, then it's usually a problem with your memory. There is a great program that checks for bad memory, called Memtest86+: http://www.memtest.org/ Download the latest version, burn it, boot into it, and let it run overnight. If any errors come up, try to remove SIMMs and see if you can get Memtest to pass, and hopefully get no segfaults when compiling. -- William Immendorf The ultimate in free computing.
