Hi all,

I have a new computer and just started trying to run some old script in RMark. I get the following error:

Program received signal SIGILL: Illegal instruction.

Backtrace for this error:
#0 0xc716cc33
#1 0xc715b3f3
#2 0xc71283a0
#3 0x1e7d156e...

I can't find anything that explains this, so I thought I'd try here. I'm using windows 11.

Thanks,
Jim

Hey Jim --

You'll need to make sure you're using a version of MARK (and RMark), that (i) play nice with each other, and (ii) play nice with your laptop.

The former is easy: make sure you have RMark 3.0.7. This is the version that is tuned to the latest version of MARK.

The latter might require an experiement or two. In general, the newer the laptop, the more likely MARK -v3 will work. If not, try version -v2.

Note, that both -v2 and -v3 of MARK assume an 'Intel' chip (Intel, or AMD). If your new machine uses an ARM chip (common in newer laptops, since they often prioritize 'battery life' more than 'number crunching'), your SOL for the moment. Cross-compiling for ARM is doable, but isn't something Gary (or I) have done.

Also, have a look at the following:

Thanks Cooch, that was indeed the issue!
