Roger,
My apologies for bothering you but I can find little help via Google or forums for something a simple as how can I run xfractint on Kubuntu 12.04 with your parameters.
I would like to run it as a batch using something like:
xfractint PARMFILE=myFractInt.par FORMULAFILE=mfr_12.frm
or
xfractint @myFractInt.par/58484-w7a // didn't work because it seems file names must be 8.3 format
Yes, the 8.3 format is still used because removing it breaks some of the screens which are hard coded.
xfractint @FractInt.par/58484-w7a appeared to read the formula 'multifract_12 but only if I included it in the FractInt.par, however, it then crashes with a segment fault error.
The formula does get read in, but then it crashes, as you say. This is usually an indication that not enough memory has been allocated. I'll look into it. Jonathan
