I installed the package you suggested, and it worked on the 32 bit=20 machine. I then tried installing the package for a 64 bit machine, and= =20 got the same error. Thank you for helping me get the accounting package back in service. I will follow the suggestion by the others to use the=20 http://sourceforge.net/p/dosemu/bugs/ link in the future to report problems. =46red On 07/26/2013 09:28 AM, Ivan Baldo wrote: > Hello. > > Try running this as root before running DOSEmu: > echo 0 >/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr > > Sometimes the 32 bit CPU emulator fails and that command above > allows DOSEmu to use the CPU directly when in a 32 bit Linux environm= ent. > > Another thing to try is to install the Debian package: > http://packages.debian.org/sid/dosemu > > If you fix the problem, then it may be useful for others that yo= u > tell us how you fixed it. > > Thanks!!! > > P.s.: happy systems administrators day!!! > > > > > El 25/07/13 23:07, Frederic Herman escribi=F3: >> As I reported to the list quite a while ago, I had to run an >> accounting package in a 32 bit machine because I could not get it to >> work in a 64 bit, both running fedora linux, and both on AMD hardwar= e. >> >> I have migrated the 32 bit machine to ubuntu 12.04 (precise) and >> installed the standard dosemu package.
