Ok i downloaded the past 3 versions of minetest, 4.5 4.4 4.3 and they all tell me "Illegal
I dont know what to do

Sorry but uhh no error in debug text as there is no debug text and i will not be replied to there

What OS do you use?
Have you downloaded the officiacl builds?
If you are on windows: Can you please run minetest.exe from the cmd and paste the output here? (search in the internet if you dont know how)

Check here: http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=3829

Hit the windows key + R, type in "cmd" (without the quotes). A black window with white text should appear. Drag and drop minetest.exe in there and then paste the output here.

Have you checked if minetest is legal in your state?

Why would Minetest be illegal in any state?

Does "Illegal Instruction" mean there's a CPU instruction that isn't supported? What processor do you have?

Your CPU needs to support SSE2, yes.

Is it Minetest directly? Or Irrlicht?

I get these sporadically, and my processor supports SSE2, as well as a few more of the common extension sets.

Ha! Illegal instruction: http://youtu.be/JgdQLWpFudA?t=4m45s

How old is your computer? If it is old, you might want to think about getting a new one. Choose wisely.

I tell you what, i appreciate the help but im about to throw this through the wall because i dont understand what your saying, and i cant get a new one, im poor

Well, when Minetest, or any other program is run, the CPU performs these little tasks called "instructions". They are as simple as copying bytes, comparing data, and/or jumping to other areas on the code. Minetest uses an extra set of these instructions that can process mode data, called SSE2. If your computer is too old, it won't understant the SSE2 instructions and say "illegal instruction". I don't know if it is possible for recompiling with SSE2 off to work, but I recommend you try recompiling according to https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/README.txt
