Testing is underway to ensure that ESP-r works on 64-bit computing  
platforms.
At this point there are numerical issues with  64-bit environments  
which have
yet to be resolved. There is not yet a consensus in the ESP-r  
development community
to recommend using ESP-r on 64 bit platforms.

Previous posts have also talked about work underway to prove that the  
newest
GCC compilers (4.1.1 onwards) pass the validation tests.

It should be possible for someone who has a 64 bit platform to Install
esp-r with debugging on and to run the executable within a debugging  
environment
such as gdb or ddd and track down the location where the segementation
falult is happening.
