I'm trying to run mutilate in agent mode:
$ mutilate -A -T 16
But it crashes. Here is the output from GDB.

Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.
Value can't be converted to integer.
0x0000000000404a0e in args_to_options (options=options@entry=0x7fffffffdbc0) at mutilate.cc:1061
1061 options->records = args.records_arg / options->server_given;

Duplicated on CentOS. Weird thing is that in Ubuntu 12.04 it worked fine. Not only that, I am unable to connect to agents under CentOS...

I saw the same problem on CentOS 7.
$./mutilate -T 12 -A
Floating point exception

It was because libzmp is not currently installed, especially the zeromp c++ binding (zmp.hpp). If I check the config.h created by scons, the HAVE_LIBZMQ is not defined, meaning libzmp is not found. This would cause the "divide by zero" problem when run as an agent.

Fix:

  1. download lastest zeromq from http://zeromq.org/area:download, and build from source by
    $./configure
    $make
    $sudo make install
  2. checkout zeromq c++ binding, which is now a separated project hosted at https://github.com/zeromq/cppzmq
    $cp zmp.hpp /usr/local/include
  3. rebuild project
    $scons -c
    $scons

Make sure you have HAVE_LIBZMQ defined in your config.h. Otherwise, your libzmp is still not installed correctly.
