Segmentation fault....
What is exactly a segmentation fault, and can it be corrected? I can reistall debian no problem except i would be posting again to get my sound working, (forgot how) ((device not found)).
Thanks in advance! Lokizen :jawa: (the error when i try to install glib is checking for ISO C99 varargs macro in C++...Segmentation fault) |
Segementation fault is when a program tries to write to a piece of memory that doesn't belong to it. ( i.e. its not its segment of memory ) This is to stop programs trampling on each others memory, and makes the system more stable.
This is usually a bug in a program, is this glib from Debian or are you compiling from source? |
its usually due to a missing shared object... (and in rare cases,the bad use of a pointer)
ldd /path.to/binary/that/keeps/segfaulting/binary will print a list of shared object (*.so) dependeny's are they all there ? none listed as not found ? |
it's from a tarball i dowloaded and forgot where from, i was getting back to it to get ymessenger going
|
i pulled a newbie and re-./configure-ed glib, no problem this time, but i installed glib 2.4.6
ymessenger says it needs glib 2_3, will 2.4.6 work? and if so, does it have to be installed in any particular dir to be found? "not as confused as i was, but still confused :D " |
my bad, it's GLIBC2_3 it's looking for, have i made a mistake in installing possibly
"the wrong one?" if so, how do i uninstall glib 2.4.6? |
never uninstall glib ! other programs may be depending on it...
Just incase you havent realised... you do know there are far better yahoo messenger clients than ymessenger right ? for example kopete (comes with KDE as part of KDENETWORK package) the precompiled ymessenger program is linked againsed very old libraries. yahoo are obviously not updating it. ymessengre is a dead project. |
Wow. You just saved me a lot of time and effort! :D
A million thanks! kopete i'll check out |
