Hello there,

I'm getting a segmentation fault error when I call povray in a machine running
Fedora 11. This error appears even when I do not provide a input file. I had
already compiled this version in 2 machines running Fedora 15, and it ran like a
charm... But in the older one I get that error. I compiled boost 1.48 in all 3
machines.

I ran gdb and obtained the following output:

Starting program: /programs_local/povray-3.7.0.RC3/povray-3.7.0.RC3/unix/povray
/export02/user/davide/pymol_compositions/pov/beta_secre_1.pov
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
povray: This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE version of POV-Ray. General distribution is
discouraged.
[New Thread 0xb7f5fb70 (LWP 3183)]

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
boost::detail::shared_count::operator= (r=<value optimized out>,
    this=<value optimized out>) at boost/detail/shared_count.hpp:237
237         if( tmp != pi_ )


I'll provide more info if necessary

Thanks

Good work

The crash is deep inside a boost internal function. Are you sure boost does 
not trigger some compiler bug here?

that was my read here as well ... last week I was having a look at 
openSUSE 12.1 and it built fine against boost 1.48, but I did NOT get a 
chance to do any testing ... requirements state 1.37 and I've been 
running 1.42 for a while. Recently 1.45 libraries were added so they 
could be included with future source distributions ... so I guess I'm 
saying anything past 1.45 would be a stretch (your mileage will vary) 
... have you tired using an earlier version of boost?
