Re: [SLE] Floating point exception with Setiathome client, Cyrix M2-333 and SuSE 6.3...



Check out version 2.4.i386-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1 of setiathome.
Also xsetiathome.

Trash temporary and pid sah files and start again.

You are running a full version of SuSE I assume, then this will work for you.
I certainly works for me. Athlon/SuSE6.4/2.2.14/15 and soon 16/17.
Remember you must start it from ITS home directory (or a configured directory)

Bruce.
