[Sbcl-devel] Unhandled SIGILL when compiling CL-BLAPACK on OS X

[Michiel B. <m.a...@pl...>]

When compiling CL-BLAPACK with SBCL 1.0.10 on Mac OS X with Intel
processors, SBCL enters LDB after an unhandled SIGILL. I use the veclib
framework. I downloaded CL-BLAPACK and FOREIGN-NUMERIC-VECTOR from

http://middleangle.com/rif/derifatives/Home/21/cl-blapack-alpha-release

And adapted load-blapack-libs.lisp in order to load the veclib
framework. The file blas-cffi.lisp compiled correctly. The problem
occurred while compiling lapack-cffi.lisp. SBCL was using of the order
of 800 to 900 MB of actual RAM at the time. I started SBCL with a
dynamic space size of 2500 and the ASDF, ASDF-INSTALL, CFFI, and
ITERATION packages loaded.


Is there anything more I can do to either help solve this problem or
work around it?

Cheers,

Michiel Brentjens
