Re: [igraph] Re: shared library error

[sergiu netotea]

The program crashes in the first few lines:
#include <igraph.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
    long int ng1 = NG1, ng2 = NG2;
    unsigned char *seq;
        //typedef unsigned char byte;
        printf("%d",sizeof(unsigned char));
}

It never reaches that printf output
the debug message is:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/netotea/calgn/grna
warning: no loadable sections found in added symbol-file
system-supplied DSO at 0x2aaaaaaab000

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000039a2468f31 in getc () from /lib64/libc.so.6

I repeat, on cygwin it all runs fine. I reckon it has to do with the
unsigned char, since it dumps at getc(). In my program I have a huge
table of zeros and ones, NG1xNG2 = 13000x22000, which I store as
unsigned chars to occupy less space.
Any ideas? Of course, this is not igraph related anymore..
