Problem witb a precompiled executable..

hi all
i have a problem that seems very hard to solve, at least i've not been able to find help on freenode, or other forums:
I have a small executable, a particular montecarlo program, that was compiled under fedora and i want to run on debian sid, on ONE machine that has debian sid, i was able to run it by following the errors it gave when started and installing all the needed dependancies, on ALL the other machines i get only this message "Killed" and nothing else.
I was able to issue ldd from the machine where it works and got this result:

Code:

ldd -v -r ./mcnp

i installed all the libs that show here but i didn't have luck, i still get only the "killed" msg..
i am absolutely out of ideas..
i CANT install fedora in order to work with this program and after all WHY it works on ONE machine with SID and not in the other SID ones (im using kanotix).
any idea would be appreciated!
Thanks

Well, the one piece of information you haven't provided is the *exact* error message that you get, if you're getting one, since that might contain a clue that might help. :)

You said you "followed the errors it gave", but you didn't post those messages here. Do that first and then we'll see if we can get this figured out.

Peace...

hello tomdkat, and thanks for answering..
the error message i get is exactly this one: "Killed"
nothing else.
im really getting crazy..if only there was another message that gives me a clue would be easier..

Oh that message. Here's what you need to do:

"Fix it" :D

Seriously, can you post some of the dependency messages you were getting previously?

Peace...

tomdkat unfortunately the pc doesn't give me any dep error message..
the other kanotix machine did, this one no..
strange, they have the same distro..
a friend advised me to use strace, i will try and if i find something i will post here.

hello
this is the output of strace -o when run on this machine (here mcnp works)

+++ killed by SIGKILL +++

i "suppose" is a insufficient memory problem...
since if i use KDE and open a bunch on windows on the machine where it works i get the same error msg.
any idea how can i check how much memory is needed by this proggie to run?

Thanks

Maybe you can track down the developer of the app and see if they have any ideas.

I'm stumped. :(

Peace...

hello
i asked the man that compiled it and he adviced me that the application will run only if it sees at least 850mb free memory, ram+swap is not important, but must be at least 850mb.
so i enlarged my swapfile and it ran fine..
wasted barely 20mb ram, so i dun have a clue why it needs 850mb...

Glad you got it working. It would have beem nice for the program to generate an "insufficient memory" message before terminating, but I guess that's asking too much. :)

How much swap did you have allocated previously and how much RAM do you have installed?

I've always tended to have TONS of swap allocated, even when I had little RAM. I've always had at least 2GB of swap space reserved even though I've never used more than about 300MB of it.

I imagine performance of the app would suck as more and more virtual memory was being used but you can judge that as you use it. :)

Peace...

unfortunately i am using an old laptop with barely 3gb of diskspace..
if i use too much swap, there won't be space for my stuffs :D
