Is there any difference between SUN and LINUX?

Is there any difference between SUN and LINUX?

[Ying Luo]

Hi,

We use guile_1.2 now for our tool's Interpret Interface. It works well both
in HP and SUN, but when it runs on Linux (64 bits), the program come into
crash in scm_boot_guile_1 (...) calling setjmp(...) . I checked the codes
in guile_1.5.4 and found that there was no setjmp(...) during the
initialize.

Will this difference lead to the crash? I am so puzzled... Could anyone
give me some advice/suggestion?

Thanks a lot!

Best Regards,
Luo Ying

Guile 1.2 isn't likely to work on a 64 bit machine.  In fact, if I'm
not mistaken, even guile 1.4 won't work right on 64 bit architectures.
However this should now be fixed in both the current stable CVS branch
(i.e. the pending 1.6.1 release), and the current unstable CVS branch.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much!

But we can run guile 1.2 on 64 bits SUNOS properly and the same as HP64, do you
mean that only on Linux64 our current released guile doesn't work right?

Please give me more suggestion. Thank you again!

OK, right -- sorry, I should have been more specific -- all I really
know is that there were problem with linux/ia64 and I think
linux/alpha.  Those problems should be fixed, and I wouldn't be
surprised if linux/solaris is affected as well.

could you be more specific about the linux platform (what chip,
what kernel/libc version, what does config.guess say, etc)?

what does the crash reveal if you run the application under a
debugger (say, gdb) and use "bt"?

have you tried any of the intervening guile versions?  (guile-1.3.4
seems to be most stable for old applications, guile-1.4.1 was just
released yesterday.)
