Where gdb stops and gives you the "(gdb)" prompt, type "bt" and hit
enter. This will give us a backtrace and show us exactly where it
stopped.
 
Can you send the output of laminfo? If laminfo fails to run, can you
configure LAM with the following configure switch:
--with-memory-manager=none. This *feels* like a memory manager problem,
but the environment you listed should not be a problem (gcc 3.2, kernel
2.4.20). Are you using a high speed network such as Myrinet or
Infiniband?

        Thanks! I tried:
         

        jgche: ~/lam-test\>lamboot

        Segmentation fault

        jgche: ~/lam-test\>gdb lamboot

        This GDB was configured as "i386-redhat-linux"...

        (gdb) run

        Starting program: /people/jgche/lam-7.1.2-debug/bin/lamboot

        [New Thread 8192 (LWP 24731)]

         

        Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.

        [Switching to Thread 8192 (LWP 24731)]

        0x00000000 in ?? ()

        (gdb)

         

        I don't know how to go on? Could you please give me more detail?

         

        I have also tried to install lam-7.0.4, fault with the same
reason, "Segmentation fault".

                This is certainly quite odd and should not happen.
                 
                Can you try running "lamboot -d lamhosts" with 7.1.2?
That might give a bit more output.
                 
                If that doesn't reveal anything useful, could you
recompile LAM with debugging symbols enabled (e.g., "./configure
CFLAGS=-g ...."), ensure that your coredumpsize is unlimited, and run it
again? This should then generate a corefile -- if you could send the
backtrace from that, it would be most useful.
                 
                Thanks!

                        I cannot install lam-7.1.2 on our cluster with
dual Xeon and myrinet. Its gcc version is:
                         
                        jgche: ~\>gcc -v
                        Reading specs from
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/specs
                        Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared
--enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --host=i386-redhat-linux
--with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
                        Thread model: posix
                        gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0
3.2-7)
                         
                        its kernel seems to be 2.4.20-28.8smp (I'm not a
manager, who will not install lam-mpi, thus I want install for myself)
                         
                        I compiled lam-7.1.2 without problem, please see
the attached config.7.1.2.log and make.7.1.2.log. However, when I run
lamboot, I got
                         
                        jgche: ~\>cat lamhosts
                        admin1
                        jgche: ~\>lamboot -v lamhosts
                        Segmentation fault
                        jgche: ~\>
                         
                        Except for mpif77, mpicc, mpic++, if I excuted
any other excutable files in /people/jgche/lam-7.1.2-eth/bin, I got
"Segmentation fault"! I cannot fix the problem. Thus, I tried to install
lam-6.5.7, since I thought this version was released in Oct 2002, almost
the same time as that of gcc 3.2. And now it seemed to be ok.
                         
                        jgche: ~\>rm lam-eth
                        jgche: ~\>ln -s lam-6.5.7-eth/ lam-eth
                        jgche: ~\>lamboot -v lamhosts
                         
                        LAM 6.5.7/MPI 2 C++/ROMIO - Indiana University
                         
                        Executing hboot on n0 (admin1 - 1 CPU)...
                        topology done
                         
                        please refer also to the attached
config.6.5.7.log and make.6.5.7.log.
                         
                        What is this problem? Is the gcc version
problem? or kernel? or others? How can I fix the problem?
                         
                        Thanks!
                         
                        JG
