Based on your problem, perhaps in testing someone used the wrong compilation options. I have been tripped up by this once or twice in the past (but on different distributions) and mostly it was pilot error -- getting the wrong binary (I have an Athlon, but not an Athlon XP, so some instructions are unsupported). This however should be a moot point in debian, since (on IA) yuo have either i386 or 64 bit, no other choices -- at least theoretically. There are a few exceptions where (so far) I've been able to get more optimized binaries. You might try rerunning the binary under gdb, and in addition to running the backtrace, do a $ disassemble $pc-32 $pc+32 this will get you the assembly around the point where the app raised the illegal instruction. > On another machine (a P4 Xeon), gimp-2.2.8 runs well with no "Illegal > instruction", so maybe it is an optimisation problem (a P2 has only MMX, > not SSE or SSE2). Right, but in the output I remember seeing a +mmx and a - everything else related to sse/sse2 etc. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
