I have run it through gdb and after a lot of warnings about missing debug libraries I got this: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007ffff7ac69ce in ?? () from /usr/lib/perl5/5.18.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so If there is anything else I can do to help you fix this I'll gladly help. In the meantime I'm using the binary provided by the upstream project, which works flawlessly (http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/biblatex-biber/1.8/bina...). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install texlive-biber (zypper in texlive-biber) 2. Type biber and any arguments you might need to process the file(s) you want 3. Press enter Actual Results: A Segmentation fault error is printed on the console. Expected Results: It should have not crashed. For example, by using the binary provided upstream, I would get the following output when running with no arguments: Usage: biber [options] file[.bcf] biber [options] --tool <datasource> Creates "file.bbl" using control file "file.bcf" (".bcf" extension is optional). Normaly use with biblatex requires no options as they are all set in biblatex and passed via the ".bcf" file In "tool" mode (see B<--tool> option), takes a datasource (defaults to "bibtex" datasource) and outputs a copy of the datasource with any command-line or config file options applied. Please run "biber --help" for option details I'm running openSUSE 13.1 RC2 x86_64 fully up to date. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
