Illegal instruction

[David Serrano]

Hi,

Has PixInsight any requirement regarding CPU features? I'm getting the following:

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/PixInsight: line 9:  8833 Illegal instruction     $dirname/$appname $*

when trying to run it on a:

Code: [Select]

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 6
model : 8
model name : AMD Athlon(tm)

Notably, this processor doesn't support SSE2 nor SSE3.

[Edit: version 1.3 works, 1.4.1 doesn't]

Hi David,

I'm sorry to say that PixInsight won't run on that machine. This is a pre-Athlon64 processor, which doesn't support SSE2 instructions. SSE2 is required by PixInsight on all supported platforms (and on Mac OS X PixInsight requires also SSE3).

Sorry

Thanks for the clarification. You give a really good support in this forum!

Thanks David. It wouldn't be half as good without your help PTeam guys. I'm a lucky man for having you here
