OT: Lynx exiting with signal 11

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Signal 11 means "segmentation fault," and can be caused by everything from 
hardware problems to a severe software bug.  The classic test is to try 
and compile a very large program, like the Linux kernel.  If the compiler 
crashes with a signal 11, you could be looking at hardware problems.  If 
it's just lynx, it could be a bug in Lynx or the compiler.  Have you 
rebooted recently?  Yes, I know, rebooting a Linux box is almost a capital 
crime for some people, but as long as it's your personal machine, and 
isn't a server, it won't hurt anything.  Other than that, if it seems to 
be a problem with Lynx itself, you could compile it with debugging 
support, and run it under gdb to see what was happening when it bombed. 
You could also try older versions to see if it's specific to the version 
you were trying to run.
