General Info
1) The preferred OS is Linux. All students will have access to a Linux server during the course.
3) If you have problems executing the BLUPF90 binaries in Linux or MacOS, change the permission for the file using the following command
chmod a+x <filename>
or
chmod 777 <filename>
4) If you try to run any program and get a message about segmentation fault, this is because the program tried to access an inappropriate memory area or accessed it abnormally.
When the program fails (crashes) without any messages, most likely, a segmentation fault has occurred.
There are possible reasons for this error.
- Missing configuration in your computing environment
- Running out of free memory
- A bug in the program
Please type the following command before running the BLUPF90 programs.
ulimit -s unlimited
