Wild guess, but it's possible that there's an alignment problem.

One thing you could try is in src/mem.c look for:

#ifdef __sparc__
/* This is not exactly correct because not all sparc machines require 8,
but minor difference in memory usage */
#define PointerAlignmentSize 8  
  
#else
#define PointerAlignmentSize sizeof(long)
#endif

And just change it to:

#define PointerAlignmentSize 8

and then run make again.


Otherwise, it would be helpful to see a back trace.

I assume if you run

  $ cd ~/swish-e-2.2/src
  $ ./swish-e -i index.c

you will get the bus error.  If that's the case try:

  $ gdb swish-e
  run -i index.c
  <error>
  bt

to get a backtrace.  That should show were it's crashing.

I don't have access to a machine running Irix, so it's hard to debug.
