#3 hptalx 1.3.0 segfaults when trying to connect

[Cedric Durmont]

on my machine (amd 1700+, Ubuntu 5.10, kernel
2.6.12.10-k7), I get a segfault every time I try to
connect to my hp48(GX, on serial port COM1)

If you need me to help diagnose the problem, I'd be
happy to.

ubuntu. amd 2000+

Just tried 1.3.0 with Gentoo (AMD64 2800+) and it too
segfaults when trying to connect to my HP49G+ (located on
ttyUSB0).

If I do a cat /dev/ttyUSB0 I do see the calculator waiting
for a command (repeatedly sends "# N3", so I don't think
it's a kernel/comms issue).

The strange thing is that 1.2.1 and 1.2.0 both segfault as well.

Same issue with 1.3.1a with 2.6.23.8 to a HP50G via usb

Had the same issue here. Turns out that hptalx segfaults when /usr/bin/kermit does not exist. Make sure you have ckermit installed in /usr/bin (or probably in your path) as executable "kermit".

Would be nice though if the code could check for existance of kermit rather than bombing out...
