AUR install of chromium works on Laptop (pentium-m) but not on desktop

Hi All,

I have successfully compiled/installed and run the chromium-continuous from AUR repository on my pentium-m based laptop.
However, when doing a similar install on my desktop which has Athlon 2800+ CPU the build is fine, but I get an error on running it, the error is:

$ chromium-browser
[7215:7215:9111919603:ERROR:/b/slave/chromium-rel-linux/build/src/chrome/browser/google_update_settings_posix.cc(73)] Not implemented reached in static bool GoogleUpdateSettings::GetLanguage(std::wstring*)
/usr/bin/chromium-browser: line 4:  7215 Illegal instruction     ./chrome --enable-plugins "$@"

I have even tried installing the package built on the laptop (i.e the one that works) and running on the desktop, but still the same error.

Anyone have a clue what is going on? I can't tell from the error ..

Thanks,
Bernie

Checking vendor_id string... amd64
Disassembling usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser, please wait...
i486:   65 i586:    3 ppro:    0 mmx:   49 3dnow:    0 ext3dnow:    0 sse:    0 sse2:  138 sse3:    0 sse4a:    0

This binary was found to contain the cpuid instruction.
It may be able to conditionally execute instructions if
they are supported on the host (i586+).

usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser will run on AMD Athlon64 or higher processor.

The binary uses sse2 instructions but your cpu does not support them.

You could try to compile it yourself but I'm not sure if it's possible to create a chromium binary without sse2 instructions.

Thanks for the reply.

I did compile from src originally but the same sort of error occured.

Do I have to tweak my PKGBUILD script for my Athlon 2800+ AMD CPU?

Cheers,
Bernie

The above mentioned svn package is afaik the only one which is actually compiled from source. All others use precompiled binaries from chromium's build server or ubuntu.

Anyone know how to adjust the PKGBUILD file in the svn source to remove the use of sse2 ?

I will then try to re-compile without it.

Cheers,
Bernie

I have to confirms this. I was able to install Chromium without any problem and everything is working fine. Just make sure you have all the codecs installed and openjdk or jre too.

I did : yaourt --aur -S chromium-continuous -latest

Done.
