Hi Rollin,

I am using SuSE's SLE 9.0, which is built for Itanium. The compiler works for other 32 and 64 bits applications. There could still be a problem with my environment though. I have not excluded that.

I can make it compile if I exclude the GSM codec. Now, how will that affect the functionality? I know, I would know that if I learned more about the product.

I agree that there could be a scenario where you, as a programmer, could cause a segmentation fault by incorrectly using pointers that were never initialized because of a problem in an external file (not existing or syntax errors). I also agree that you as a programmer could cause segmentation faults by incorrectly trying to communicate with hardware that is not there. All those scenarios are bugs though. They should be avoided by proper error control and handling. Still, those are bugs I can live with as long as I have my stuff together when it comes to build it on Itanium. If it comes out that the coredumps are indeed caused by bad config files, it would be really good news to me, as I really want to use the Itanium hardware. I did try make samples and there is no difference, it still segfaults

I will now dig into the compilation options and the link I got from Jose to see if I can find anything useful. When I have a successful build without coredumps I will focus on learning the product. From what I have seen so far it seems to be a really cool product.

Thanks for all the help,

// Jonas

One must keep in mind that the config files specify how hardware is to be handled. If config files are present, the defaults in them are adequate to keep really bad
things from happening.  If not . . . . . .
By the nature of this beast, it can easily seg fault if hardware drivers don't have proper controls. I had seg faults several times WITH config files until I got the parameters right. I did not consider that a huge bug, but rather part of my learning
curve with asterisk.

As far as the compile problem with the Itaniam system, are you sure you have a
compiler version that fully supports this hardware/OS combination?
