Morning/Evening Howard,
>> 1. In Linux, what's a 'segmentation fault'?
segmentation fault n.
[Unix] 1. [techspeak] An error in which a running program attempts to
access memory not allocated to it and core dumps with a segmentation
violation error. This is often caused by improper usage of pointers in
the source code, dereferencing a null pointer, or (in C) inadvertently
using a non-pointer variable as a pointer. The classic example is:
int i;
scanf ("%d", i); /* should have used &i */
2. To lose a train of thought or a line of reasoning. Also uttered as an exclamation at the point of befuddlement.

Could well be a programming problem, a Java RTL problem or perhaps, a ulimit limit. What do you get for ulimit -m? (or ulimit -a) which shows the amount of memory a process is allowed to have. It could be too small. You can use ulimit to set a limit but you can only set it up to the kernel configured limits. If you need more, reconfigure and rebuild the kernel. [Ahem, did you read the pre-installations docs !! (Sorry) :o) ]

I wonder if this is a reference to the size of memory that the process
requires ?
Sorry, can't be more helpful here !

Mandrake is basically RedHat I believe.

I managed to get my Windows setup running 9iR2 EE running like a fast thing simply by adding an extra 512 MB RAM. I've only got a 400 horse power processor at home, but the memory upgrade makes soooooooo much difference. I'm getting the download stuff for Unix so I can see how it goes on that. At work, I have a new 1700 horse power processor and 9iR2 EE runs like a dog in 256 MB.
>> Calling all Linux gurus!!
Sorry, you got me instead !
Cheers,
Norm.
