If that's what I think it is, this particular bug has been showing up a lot from Fedora users. It seems Fedora uses selinux with a configuration more strict than most; it doesn't like that our JIT buffers are both writable and executable, so it disables the exec bit and causes a segfault when we try to execute it. Another fedora user (this one was building parrot from source) has told us that setting selinux to "permissive" mode allows parrot to work. See https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/ticket/581#comment:7 Could you see if this allows your user to execute parrot properly? If this is the issue, there are a couple of other possible workarounds: * Configuring Parrot with --jitcapable=0, thus disabling jit * Adding an selinux exception for parrot, if possible (the JVM may have a similar exception) If the bug is something else, then I'd like the user to make a trac ticket to get us in direct contact with the reporter. That way we can try to figure out what exactly is happening. > What should I do with this bug reports in the future? > > - Post the bug-URL to this list, like now > - or always give the answer in bugzilla to post to this mailing-list > - or pherhaps it is possible bugzilla use a email-address that is a > menber of this mailing-list > - add a CC in bugzilla > - or some other solutions For bugs in parrot, creating trac tickets for them wouldn't hurt, with a link to the bugzilla ticket, I guess. That way it will stay on our radar. Thanks, Mark _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
