Bug 143094 – sci-biology/mrbayes crashes on 64-bit architectures

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description dawe 2006-08-07 08:13:49 UTC]

Hi there, I've found that mrbayes crashes as you try the sumt function on a 64-bit platform. I've tried this on amd64, on alpha and on ia64. 
I've seen that there are several reports on this behavior on
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php
It seems that the bug has not been yet solved.

- the link doesn't work.
- emerge --info missing
- we need a backtrace

Hi there. I've missed a lot of stuff in previous bug report, sorry.
If you still need I'll give emerge --info at the end of this. BTW, the problem is related to sizeof(long) that is 8 bytes on 64-bit platforms and 4 bytes on 32 bit ones. I've successfully modified the source to handle this and I'm now producing a patchset to submit. I have some problems in writing a portage-compatible patch :-(
I'm also going to produce a valuable backtrace, in the meanwhile just be informed of this workaround

cheers

whooops! Sorry.

Thanks for the report. I removed AMD64 support from the ebuilds pending upstream fixing the issue.

Hi people,

Mrbayes compiled under 32 or 64 bit runs fine on my linux mint 64 bit but except when I try to sum trees (sumt command) returning a segmentation fault. In the same system I can sum trees in the virtualbox WinXP. I tried to understand what is written in this thread but I am a beginner. Please if somebody could tell me a step by step how to fix this I will greatly apprciate.

thanks

dani
