Default New GGNFS problem

When I try to run procrels, it finds one factor and then a Windows error window appears:

"procrels.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry about this inconvenience. Please tell Microsoft about this problem."

We have all encountered this message. The only question is, what caused procrels to stop working?

Don't use procrels anymore. pol51 and especially msieve produce much better polynomials.

procrels processes relations not finds polynomials

I am now using factLat.pl but an error message appears:

Could not find default parameter file c:/Programme/Primes/ggnfs/def-par.txt!

The path here has the slashes the wrong way round and is nothing like my filepath. def-par.txt is in my gnfs folder. So why does factLat.pl think def-par.txt is not there?

you need to edit the paths in factlat.pl to what you want them to be

factmsieve.pl drives me up the wall because it does not output factors to the log file
for the size of numbers we are going to be doing (100-~110) factlat.pl wont be too much slower
there are too many bugs in it and i dont really trust it

Do you mean edit the script?

If so, in how many places is a path mentioned?

I am not a GNFS expert. When you make a poly with msieve, it has R0 and R1 values. Which one do you use for a GGNFS "m" value? When using R0 I get a polynomial error. Same with R1.

P.S. Henry, I think my joining has induced an increase in your posting rate. Do you agree?
