I had octave compiled with CFLAGS option "-ffast-math" in two gentoo boxes.
I got "segmentation fault" when trying to start octave. I then compiled both
leaving "-ffast-math" option out and octave is working now.
box 1:
CFLAGS="-Os -march=pentium2 -funroll-loops -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx
-msse -mfpmath=sse,387 -ffast-math"
box 2:
CFLAGS="-Os -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -mmmx
-m3dnow -msse -mfpmath=sse,387"
I tried both versions 2.1.40 and 2.1.49 of octave.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put "-ffast-math" in your CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf
2. emerge octave
3. run octave
Actual Results:
segmentation fault
Expected Results:
octave should have started
