Re: [Swarm-Support] Need help on a Mac OS X

[Tim Kohler]

Hi all. Here's a slightly different OS X (10.3.9) problem. I am trying to
run a greatly updated version of the venerable Village model under
Swarm2.2. This model runs perfectly under Cygwin on a PC. After overcoming
some linking problems after bringing it over to the Mac side (by doing a
make clean, and then remaking) it bombs right away when I run it. Running
it under gdb, here's the backtrace:

(gdb) run

Not sure it's relevant, but here are the versions of gcc and make I'm using:

Any tips or leads greatly appreciated. Perhaps something to do with the
way a Mac handles (or doesn't) doubles?
