segmentation fault.

Hello,

I have compiled taspring under slamd64 (64 bit linux slackware),
when I run a test it quits and gives me "segmentation fault".

why?
what can I do?

Someone better move this to the Linux forum.

You could try compiling with debug enabled and running it through a debugger (gdb)
See how I did it here:

Ok
I did it and this is what I get:

Any idea?

I've had this exact same problem twice now, on two separate machines. Both times it just magically fixed itself over time. Leaving me with no idea on what the possible root cause for the problem or how it was fixed.

This is my post from the second time it happened:

[nir_hp]

what do you mean by "fixed itself over time"?

you compiled it and rerun it evry month?

you recompiled it every month?

Ok,
it solved by reinstalling openal 0.0.8 and not the trunk.
It seems to be a well known problem with intel on board soundcard.
