AVX is probably mostly sufficient for all users of 64 bit OS.
SSE2+ on the other hand... is probably needed for 32 bit.
That's just my opinion.

This makes no sense. Just because a computer is 64 bits doesn't mean it automatically supports AVX. My computer is 64 bits but does not support AVX. So I have to use the SSE2 build.
My fault. After my first custom build in years, I thought I'd try...
Prerequisite:
That has no output. The grep itself does give output when I ask for its --version, so I have to assume it sees the action as successful, even if it produces no result.Walter Dnes wrote: ↑2024-10-05, 16:54Was that software support or hardware support? How old is the machine? Recent Pale Moon requires avx support in the cpu. From a terminal execute the command...

Thanks for your help. Even though I can't run PM, it does actually run on my test machine. However, with the problem I indicated. How does one troubleshoot a program that can't run?Walter Dnes wrote: ↑2024-10-05, 16:54If your cpu supports avx, you'll get one "flags" line for each core (including hyperthreads) in the cpu. If you get no output from that command, your machine lacks avx support and cannot run current Pale Moon... period... end of story. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=31399
That's my point exactly. Ask the OP for clearer information.

I used to build both AVX and AVX2, so when mainline went to AVX i swapped my AVX build to SSE2(which was mainline before move).

which one exactly?
Responding time and again without even attempting to provide clearer information (instead of making a point how posts are worded) also doesn't help us get any further.
That means your processor doesn't support AVX. You will need to use the SSE2 community build for starters or it'll never work on your hardware. Depending on how you installed the browser, this may be all the issue is, although the error still doesn't make sense to me (barring any file system voodoo your system may be doing if it borks)
