Hi,
I just installed avast 1.0.5 on a FC4 i386 laptop and a FC5 x86_64 workstation.
No problems on the laptop
kernel 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 i686
I used the rpm install. Just install add the license and go. (I am using a license for the windows version if it makes a differance. It accepted it OK).
But on the workstation avast segfaults amd 4200 X2
kernel 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 x86_64
I tried setting the AVAST_PREFIX variable per other posts to this forum but then avast simple does nothing for a minute then reports a argument too long message.
[alan@pathfinder ~]$ avast -n pvr-upgrade.log
/usr/bin/avast: line 150: 16347 Segmentation fault $AVAST_PREFIX/bin/$programname $*
[alan@pathfinder ~]$ echo $AVAST_PREFIX
[alan@pathfinder ~]$ whereis avast
avast: /usr/bin/avast /usr/share/man/man1/avast.1.gz
[alan@pathfinder ~]$ AVAST_PREFIX=/usr; export AVAST_PREFIX
[alan@pathfinder ~]$ echo $AVAST_PREFIX
/usr
[alan@pathfinder ~]$ avast -n pvr-upgrade.log
/usr/bin/avast: line 150: /usr/bin/avast: Argument list too long
avastgui fails the same way.
I did not need to set AVAST_PREFIX on the FC4 system.
I can provide a strace output if it helps. Let me know.
Thanks
