Since you had to use --without-paradiseo it means you are using some C-compiler that follows published standards (probably gcc 4.7 or 4.8).
I would need to see the output of checkSettings() to try to reproduce the error though.

The sentence "Es werden eingebaute Spezifikationen verwendet." tells the user that buildin specifications are used.

I think I reproduced the system perfectly (compare my settings), but I cannot reproduce the error-message (I tried Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Examples.Elementary.DoublePendulum). Did you use some other model or does this one also fail?

It is still the same error. But I can change to euler (forward I guess?) and it will work. I know it means
less accuracy, but I have never heard of DASSL before. What kind of integration method is it?

Still, thanks for the work sjoelund.se! I have no idea why I have this error and why you can not reproduce it,
so I do not know if there is a way for further investigations. Please tell me what kind of data I can send to
you...

Happy eastern to you!

Dassl is an implicit, variable-step solver that can handle stiff systems. Most Modelica tools use some variation of dassl as the default solver.

It might be that the code would run if you ./configure [...] CFLAGS="-O2" since then some SSE instructions might be skipped (my CPU is an Intel Atom D525).

You could see if the code I generated works for you: http://dev.openmodelica.org/~marsj/DP.tar.xz

tar xJf DP.tar.xz

make -f Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Examples.Elementary.DoublePendulum.makefile

./Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Examples.Elementary.DoublePendulum

Changing the compiler used to compile omc may also help. /configure [...] CC=clang CXX=clang++ compiles code much faster than gcc.

After changing CFLAGS, it is enough to "make -C SimulationRuntime/c/ clean". If you change CC and CXX a full make clean is safer.

I am building on a Mac, (using the Macports instructions).  I have been running the daily versions.  I also can't get dassl to work at all.  All the examples consistently give the same results as above, with just the default settings.  On the other hand if I use euler I can get results from the examples that make sense. 
I have tried building both with clang and with gcc44 and they each give the same results with dassl

This is both from OMShell and OMEdit.  I also just installed sundials and now I can get results from radau.
