Is there any other users who have compiled using the instructions in
the readme and gotten a segmentation fault when you have tried to
execute the program.

If so could you tell me how you fixed it if you managed to

any help is appreciated

Could you post some more information please (http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=5073)?

it's the latest release, it compiled with errors using the commands in the readme,
but it give a segmentation fault when I try to execute it, I can't really provide more
information then that

im not sure what cause this segfault, but quick googling show alot similar bug reports from everywhere (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora etc). as i see, is somehow related with x64. may be hardware not fit (to old as examle). here https://code.google.com/p/drmemory/issues/detail?id=903 ppl talking about some replace for __strcmp_sse2 in 64 bit.

i use nearly same processor - AMD Phenom II X4 945 :D
so, is sure not processor issue. may be glibc or some other lib. you install all avaliable updates? fedora bugzilla have similar reports, like this one http://abrt.fedoraproject.org/faf/problems/232398/

PS. sure is not actually fixes issue, but may be you try some other, more stable distro? personally i prefer Debian (i use not releases btw, i use testing)

Posted: **Thu Apr 25, 2013 03:30**

okay thanks

I tried recompiling it and found I didn't have luajit, so I downloaded and compiled that
then recompiled minetest, but it still gives me the segmentation fault

don't know if that helps at all

any help is appreciated

This is definitely not about SSE. If you execute SSE code on a processor, which does not support it, you get an "illegal instruction" error, instead of a segfault.

Since it crashes in "__strcmp_sse2", it probably got a null pointer, instead of a valid string somehow.

You could install all the debuginfo packages it tells you about, then gdb can show you a stack trace. Then you know in which part of minetest this faulty strcmp is used. It is still a long way to fix this, though.

The irrlicht package in Fedora is buggy. How did you compile it? Did you not run into this issue?

remove irrlicht and irrlicht-devel packages via yum, then reinstall irrlicht from source...

go to the Irrlicht/source/Irrlicht directory and 'make sharedlib'

then copy the stuff as it says in the readme:

the headers from Irrlicht/include to /usr/local/include and the newly built lib to /usr/lib64

Which version of irrlicht do you recommend, 1.7.3 or 1.8?

Any help is appreciated

both should be ok, just pick one...

I heard that 1.8 is slower, but havent tested it yet.

When I try compile irrlicht I get the following for both 1.7.3 and 1.8

did you do 'make sharedlib' ? because it builds an .a and not an .so if you just use 'make'.

go check if there is something like libIrrlicht.so in lib/Linux/ and copy it to /usr/local/lib64/

then try start minetest... if it complains about the lib missing, just make a symlink with the name it expects to the libIrrlicht.so (in /usr/local/lib64/ use ln -s for that)

I am using Fedora 18 x86_64 and installed the irrlicht18 package (which is 1.8), but not the irrlicht package (which is 1.7). Minetest (HEAD and 4.6) compiles and runs fine.

Posted: **Wed May 01, 2013 09:32**

yeah, if that works its definitely easier.

No, I just did make
lib/Linux/ only had libIrrlicht.a in it

You may have installed the 32-bit version of irrlicht. Try "yum list installed irrlicht" and make sure the version includes x86_64 in the listing. If that is not the problem, I have a suggestion based on what I did. The F18 repo version of Irrlicht (irrlicht18) is not the latest version. The Fedora Rawhide repo has irrlicht 1.8-2. Mine compiled and runs fine. Hope this helps.

Are you getting a error that looks similar to this:
