Unhappy Segmentation faults when running Cosmomc(a program that do some Curve fitting)


Hi ,everybody

I encountered segmentation faults when tried running "./cosmomc params.ini" :


[limh@localhost camb]
./camb params.ini
Age of universe/GYr = 13.592
Reion redshift = 11.102
Om_b h^2 = 0.022000
Om_c h^2 = 0.120000
Om_nu h^2 = 0.000000
Om_Lambda = 0.710204
Om_K = 0.000000
Om_m (1-Om_K-Om_L) = 0.289796
100 theta (CosmoMC) = 1.048171
Reion opt depth = 0.0900
tau_recomb/Mpc = 280.95 tau_now/Mpc = 14085.0
[limh@localhost camb]tex error (math_lexing_error): cd ..
[limh@localhost cosmomc]
./cosmomc param.ini

Segmentation faults
[limh@localhost cosmomc]$

Generic response sort of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault

I'm not sure of the specifics of that program. Is that a script you fed the program?

Well, A segmentation fault can occur easily if a program that doesn't check type overrides one memory location with something that won't fit.

If I had to guess completely, I'd say whatever program you feed that script into defines a variable as say an int and then tries to put a floating point into it....

That said, I'd try to see if you can specifiy the type of all the variables and see if that doesn't help.
