From: probreak@matt.ksu.ksu.edu (James Michael Chacon) Subject: Binaries compiled under older versions of linux Date: 29 May 1992 01:59:50 -0500
Just thought I'd post a quick note about this:
I downloaded gnuchess and tried to run it, and all I got were segmentation
errors. So, I downloaded the source, edited my curses.h to exclude HZ, and
recompiled. Now it works like a charm (i.e as I write this, It is beating
the pants off me on another tty). My advice to people having segmentation
faults on binaries they download, is to get the sources and cdiffs and recompile
Obviously some binaries that were compiled under older version of linux wont
work on 96a without recompilation. Granted, this should not be true, but
it happens when both the OS and the compiler upgrade. Anyone else that wants to
add on to this is welcome.
