Hey all,

Ever since installing some packages (from source) I have been getting segmentation faults from a great majority of Gnome applications in the format of:

Application "something" (process XXXX) has crashed due to a fatal error. (Segmentation Fault)

NOTE: I /always/ get two of these messages as soon as I shutdown the computer.

The packages I installed were:

atk 1.3.1
glib-2.2.1
gtk+ 2.2.1
pango 1.2.1
pkgconfig 0.15.0

As best as I can tell, the problems begin after the installation of GTK+. Any advice on how to get rid of this (very annoying) problem?

Thanks,
Ryan

Run it from the command line.... does it happen as soon as the app starts?

Run it through gdb also:

gdb
->run ./whatever
segmentation fault
-> bt
#0 kajsdfklasdjfksda
#1 adsfasdfsaf
#2 adsgadgasgasd

etc

Paste the numbered lines in here. I suspect I know what's wrong, but want to be sure.

From command line:

-------

[zero@localhost zero]$ /usr/bin/gnome-cd

through gdb:

---------

Note: I was trying to run /usr/bin/gnome-cd (if you couldn't tell :P)

-ryan-

Forgot to put this in the gdb part :P

Ah, so it's not threading. Report that backtrace to bugzilla.gnome.org please, that's the only way it'll get fixed. Give some context as well, like what was in the drive at the time

hm. that's slightly disconcerting.

thanks.

+You must upgrade libgnomeui when upgrading to gtk 2.2, due
+to this bug in libgnomeui 2.0.x

So there's your answer
