[Fedora-directory-users] RE: Floating poing exception in Fedora DS installation

[Ratnakar Sagare]

Hi, 
Thanks for your reply. I checked on my system once again but no success yet.

I have ncurses-5.4-13 and libtermcap-2.0.8-39 installed on my system.

The error is coming right away and no dialog box for using existing config
is seen.  

I tried with strace command also & here's the output of trace.out file which
I have created 

--------------------------START---------------------------------------------
execve("bin/slapd/admin/bin/ns-config", ["bin/slapd/admin/bin/ns-config",
"-f", "/tmp/a.inf", "-l", "/tmp/logA15446", "-m", "2"], [/* 24 vars */]) = 0
uname({sys="Linux", node="<my system's FQDN>", ...}) = 0
brk(0)                                  = 0x9841000
--- SIGFPE (Floating point exception) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGFPE +++

-----------------------------END-------------------------------------------

Regards,
Ratnakar

I just tried to reproduce this on a clean RHEL4 i386 system with the 
latest updates.  It worked fine.

Do you get this error right away, or do you see the dialog box that asks 
you if you want to use an existing configuration DS?

Do you have the packages ncurses and libtermcap installed?

One thing you could try is to use strace to see what the program is 
doing.  Line 520 doesn't look like the correct line, but just above that 
are the calls to ns-config.  You could change those lines to something 
like "strace -o /tmp/trace.out ./ns-config ...."
