#18 On FC3; elmo-1.2.0 elmo 1.3.2

[O.R.Senthil Kumaran]

Hi rzyjontko,
Downloaded Elmo 1.2 and 1.3 versions
Source packages and compiled on my machine running FC3.
The Compilation went proper, but when executing elmo, I
am getting segmentation fault.

Running through gdb:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0805124f in htable_insert (table=0x1, key=0x8078b09
"addressbook", content=0x1) at hash.c:201
201 unsigned hashval = hash (key,
table->exponent);

rzyjontko, I would like to work on this application (
to get involved in some project and improve my skills).
Please assist me if you can.

PS: I had earlier approached you when there were C
developer required, but I could not make myself avail,
as I was not in touch with C programming. My practice
with programming is going on still and I feel that elmo
is a good project.

I don't know what FC3 is, but I had the same problem when
running elmo on Solaris. I was inspecting this for quite a
long time, but couldn't find any reason why the program
crashes, mainly due to the fact that there is no
valgrind-like tool for Solaris.

If you want to work on elmo, just do what you like and send
me patches. If I like them, I will give you a write access
to the repository.
