Crashes (Segmentation Fault) on startup

[xiphos-bug-inhaler]

Before it displays any windows it crashes. Version is 0.7.9 from the debian packages. It's always done this, for every version for me, I'm running debian unstable on an amd thunderbird 700mhz with 628MB. I'm running NVIDIA's drivers with a geforce 4 agp 128mb ddr ram video card. Running XFree86 Version 4.3.0 That's all I can think of that would be useful for you guys.. good luck, I'll keep checking back for new versions.. if you guys have any information please e-mail me (joel@dh-network.com) Thanks.

We really need a bit more information.

Can you run it from a terminal and see if there is any interesting output?

Can you run it through strace and provide us with the last few lines of output?

Can you run it from gdb and let us see a backtrace?

Gnome gnomesword2 2.0.0 build from tarball sword-1.5.7-1 - rpm package sword-devel-1.5.7-1 - rpm package

gnomesword2 configures builds and installs with no warnings. Segfaults immediately upon running (window is visible for a second) gnome crash dialog appears.

Do you have any SWORD modules installed?

Run gnomesword from a terminal. What is the output?

Could you please run gnomesword under gdb. When it crashes, type 'bt' for a backtrace and paste the output here.

Hi,

Sorry I didn't offer more info to begin with. I've gotten yelled at by developers for providing one or the other (gdb or strace) so I'm reluctant to flood ;-)

You may have both.

Darn,

I didn't look at the dates of followups before I posted.

I'll answer your questions too.

Do you have any SWORD modules installed?

I unzipped KJV.zip in /usr/share/sword (which is the DataPath specified in /etc/sword.conf).

Run gnomesword from a terminal. What is the output?

[root@ruin root]# gnomesword2 gnomesword-2.0.0 sword-1.5.6 Initiating Sword

System locale is en_US.UTF-8 Sword locale is en Checking for SWORD Modules

Number of Text modules = 1 Number of Commentary modules = 0 Number of Dict/lex modules = 0 Number of Book modules = 0 Number of Percomm modules = 0 Number of Devotion modules = 0

I didn't want to fill up the screen with gdb/strace stuff so I put the output on my website.

Thanks, -ry

Grr...

One more thing I forgot. I compiled sword API by hand (thinking the rpm might have been trashed) which is why CLI says sword 1.5.6. The segfault happens with the rpm or hand rolled sword.

The most recent bug reported here (i.e. the one reported by ryanpg) is fixed in current CVS. Thanks for the gdb backtrace, that confirmed that it is the same issue reported by others.

Need more info on the original bug (0.7.9 version).

E-mailed Joel asking for more information on the original problem.

Joel is unable to give any further information at this time so I am closing this due to lack of diagnostic information and the version of GnomeSword being backlevel.
