DeadlineSlave crashes on Linux CentOS 64bit

Deadline

Hi,

My setup is on linux CentOS 5.6 64bit with Mono 2.6 installed from the mono yum repository. ( I also tried compiling it, and succeeded but with the same result).

Randomly, the slave crashes on without warning and I get the following crash message when the slave has been started from a shell…

any ideas ?
or any setup someone has that is working perfectly ?

Thank you very much !!!

Mathieu

We’ve received confirmation that building the libgdiplus sources (instead of installing libgdiplus from the yum repository) will workaround this problem. The sources can be found here:
