Mzscheme

we're using the scheme language at school. Most of us use drscheme.

I couldn't find it in the portage tree, so I downloaded the source from inet and compiled it.
No problems so far, until I tried to run the install script (after configure make & make install, which all ended with no errors). the setup proggie gave a segmentation fault. Same with all the other executables I had compiled.

Wanted to figure this out a little more. So I compiled the mzscheme package, which came with the portage. After emerging succesfully, when I tried to exec the binary, it segfaulted too.

Now I've downloaded the binary version, which ofcourse runs without errors.

Why am I not able to compile drscheme from source ? (tried it also on another pc, slackware)
Is this related to the compiler or the glibc libraries ?

Thx & grtz

What are you CFLAGS? Sometimes over-agressive optimizations can cause the same symptoms you are having.

first I tried to compile with these options :
"-march=i686 -O3 -pipe"

when the binaries segfaulted, I changed the O flag to O2, like this:

"-march=i686 -O2 -pipe"

btw: if anyone could explain what the -pipe option does ...
