Description Kevin Battaile 2002-01-25 19:29:05 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 (Macintosh; U; PPC)

Description of problem:
I was compiling the package EMBOSS using gcc-2.96-98 and got the following error: 

ajfeat.c: In function `featTagSpecial':
ajfeat.c:6852: Internal error: Segmentation fault.
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL:http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/> for instructions.
make[1]: *** [ajfeat.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/EMBOSS-2.2.0/ajax'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I have compiled this package on a different system (AMD K6-2, RH 7.2, but no 
updates) without problems. When I attempt to re-compile, the system crashes.

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2002-01-28 11:25:08 UTC

Unless you get the same error when rerunning the same gcc command line
on the same source file, it is likely a hardware problem (or kernel problem),
especially if you write that the system crashes.
If you can reproduce it, please attach here the preprocessed source file
(see gcc -save-temps option) and full command line used to reproduce it.
