Works here (on SuSE). Segmentation fault can have two reasons: 1) bad hardware (esp. memory, but can also be a combination of overheating CPU and/or problems with the adressbus drivers on the mainboard. or - if you are not encountering SEGV or Signal 11 elsewhere 2) incompatible libraries, wrongly compiled binaries. The Lingua::LinkParser requires the linkparser binary to be present in the system as it provides just a Perl-Frontend to it not the functionality itself. Have you compiled this binary yourself or fetched it from somewhere? It was pretty straightforward, so your probs should be solveable. -- best regards, Dipl.-Inf.
