In any case, I have been able to compile all the relevant files and link them together (without errors) to produce an executable. When I try to run it, it grinds away for a while, and then leaves me with the message "Memory fault - core dumped" and a core dump file. I am running on a 486DX-33 with 8MB of RAM, and I am also running X. Do I just not have enough physical memory? The Linux version claimed to run in 8MB with X. How would I go about debugging this further, and is there any way to read and understand the core dump? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.....
