Unable to compile Parrot 0.4.3
Howdy All,
I'm attempting to compile parrot 0.4.3 on my ix86 linux box. I've been able to compile all the previous versions, no problem, but for some reason this one poops out with:
src/null_config.o Invoking Parrot to generate runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc --cross your fingers ./miniparrot config_lib.pasm > runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc /bin/sh: line 1: 6960 Segmentation fault ./miniparrot config_lib.pasm >runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc gmake: *** [runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc] Error 139
Is there something different about this release?
Any suggestions about how to proceed?
Thanks. :-)

Well, it says cross your fingers, I suppose it knows you need some luck to succeed :) Didn't you change anything ? DIdn't you upgrade your compiler recently ? Many programs can't compile with gcc 4.0, let alone 4.1.

Are you building from a fresh checkout or tarball? Have you installed Parrot elsewhere on your machine already? Did you do a make realclean and then reconfigure, or just issue make again?
If none of those tips lead to a solution, can you run gdb on the code and get a backtrace and send it to the Parrot list?
gdb ./miniparrot # gdb stuff here run config_lib.pasm # segfault caught here bt

Howdy
I'm building from the tarball via cpan.
Yes, I have an earlier version of parrot on this machine (0.4.2), which compiled just fine and is now in my PATH.
Ok, I tried the 'make realclean', reconfigured, and it still segfaulted.
Good idea: Here's what I got when I did the gdb traceback:
Drat. Still not working...

Ah, and I've just noticed one more thing:
src/parrot_config.c looks wonky.
It ends in this line (which isn't very 'c' like, and 'c' doesn't like, 'c'?):
static const unsigned char parrot_config[] = {
Really, that's the very last line of the file.
Thx.
