ive written my code in C for implementation of a simple lexical analyser using singly linked list hence am making use of dynamic allocation,but when run in linux it gives a segmentation fault is it cause of the malloc function that ive made use of????any suggestions as to what i could do???
thank you!!

I can't tell what your problem is from here.
The first problem is to find where in your code the segfault occurs -
compile and run your code under a debugger (gdb)
The ba command in gdb will show a stack trace. Please post it.

Ya will do that & get back to you...
thanks

I tried out these commands gdb >r <myfile> & gdb bt <myfile> on fedora 4.0
and this is what i got
bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'
Am not sure of the syntax of the command but i picked up 'bt' from the man pages. I did try all possibilities and this is what i got for all of them...!
Please let me know if my command syntax is wrong or thats the error in my program and how can i debug it???
thank you,
rockgal

refers to gdb prompt typing r + optional command-lines
Seems like you are typing this in bash "gdb >r <myfile> & gdb bt <myfile>"
