Hello all,

I'm trying to get Wings3d installed on Slackware 10 and the instructions (available on the wings3d installation FAQ) say to install Erlang. I downloaded the sources in that set of instructions and during step 2. I enabled threads during ./configure (for my Nvidia card) and continued on , finishing erlang, moved on to SDL (current), and finally esdl.

Now when I try to fire up erlang ( I think the command is erl I just get a message that says segmentation fault. I'm running a full install Slackware 10 setup with nothing special.

I'm baffled

what is the minimum version of erlang wings needs? it looks like something's wrong with the code itself. If you run:

you can see at the end it opens a file read-only, reads from it, then closes the file-pointer and completely bails from there. if you have a higher version than wings needs try downgrading erlang to the minimum version of erlang that wings needs and see if that one works.

That helped a lot I get erlang to run, without a seg fault. It looks like esdl is the next one to do. I'll get an earlier version of it and try thhis again...

Thanks _J i'll post my progress in a bit.

Well, after running: erl -pa ESDL_PATH -pa /root/wings -run wings

I get this stuff:

Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.3.6.3 [source] [hipe] [threads:0]

Eshell V5.3.6.3 (abort with ^G)
1> {"init terminating in do_boot",{undef,[{wings,start,[]},{init,start_it,1},{init,start_em,1}]}}

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
init terminating in do_boot ()

I can post the .dump file if you'd like. I'm hoping that the above will make enough sense to someone.
