I'm getting this wierd error when I try to run either Sylpheed or XMMS. The launchers on my desktop didn't seem to do anything and I got the error from trying to run the programs from a shell.

The error is:
It's not a very detailed error message, I know.
If it helps any, I'm using the versions of Sylpheed and XMMS that come on the Mandriva2006.0 disc/dvd.
Sylpheed version 1.0.5-2mdk
XMMS version 1.2.10-20mdk

Both use GTK+ as far as I know. I don't see GTK+ being an issue here though, because other GTK+ apps, like The GIMP, still work.

EDIT: I haven't installed/uninstalled anything lately, for anyone who asks.

Have you tried using a different version? Maybe a previous version?

Try downloading the source code and building it.

different version of which? Sylpheed and XMMS, or GTK+?

My bad--try a different version of XMMS. The fact that the GIMP works indicates that GTK+ isn't causing the problem directly. If a different version of XMMS doesn't work, then try a different version of Sylpheed.

Ok, thanks pda_h4x0r.

I upgraded Sylpheed to 2.0.1, and it works beautifully.

and I'm using the most recent version of XMMS (1.2.10).

EDIT: I'll try compiling XMMS from source.

Yeah, compiling from source didn't change anything.

I still got that "Illegal instruction" nonsense. I guess the use of GTK+ 1.x apps is out of order.

Have you installed the latest version of GTK?

I'm running GTK+ 2.0.6, I believe.

It was installed MONTHS ago, so I'm failing to see how it could possibly butcher the execution of GTK+ 1.2 apps, seemingly, out of it's own free will.
