After the 26 April 2017 -current updates, AisleRiot no longer works.
I tried re-installing the package, but that didn't work and rebuilding
it also didn't work.
The error from the command line is simply, Segmentation fault.

Sorry to hear AisleRiot isn't working for you.

What's the exact segmentation fault error?

Do you get the same fault error if you launch AisleRiot via the terminal?

There are alternatives if you'd like to give them a spin.

Thank you for your reply and the link.
As I said in the original post, when started from the command line (that is, in a terminal)
the error is, "Segmentation fault."

You're Welcome cwizardone. Always glad to help were I can.

Troubleshooting segmentation faults can be tuff.
I've had a few myself and wasn't able to rectify the issue's sorry:-

From what you have said it sounds like some libraries may have gotten upgraded and that is the reason why AisleRiot isn't launching. OR> better yet it's a bug.

A segmentation fault occurs when a process attempts to access a memory location that is associated with (I think) a variable that's been set.

You may have to do some debugging.....suggestions are mentioned here:

Have you checked to see if there's a newer version of AisleRiot? Maybe the version you have doesn't work with the newer gtk3 included in -current.

The latest version according to the bottom of the page is 3.22.2.
gnome-games-aisleriot-3.22.2-alt0.1.x86_64.rpm is at the top of the page.

https://pkgs.org/download/aisleriot

Couldn't find 3.22.2 any where else using start page or Google:-

The rpm2tgz program will create a Slackware package with a .tgz extension, while rpm2targz creates an archive with a .tar.gz extension.

No need to convert a RPM package. Better use directly a package in Slackware format, in this case built by George Vlahavas (gapan) and available in a Salix repository:
http://slackware.uk/salix/x86_64/14.2/salix/games/
http://slackware.uk/salix/i486/14.2/salix/games/
And the sources if you need to rebuild it:
http://slackware.uk/salix/x86_64/14....mes/aisleriot/
To rebuild a package if a SLKBUILD is provided in the source files instead of a SlackBuild you will also need slkbuild:
http://slackware.uk/salix/i486/14.2/salix/d/
That you also you may rebuild yourself:

Nikki, over at MLED, has a package, labeled version 3.6.2, but it doesn't work after the latest updates.

http://www.microlinux.fr/microlinux/...t/slackware64/


The 3.22 version from Salix returns this error message,

I'll try recompiling it later today when I have more time, but recompiling the 3.6.2 version didn't work. We'll see....

build the latest version from source

(it will need the additional dependency pysolfc from SBo)

I took this suggestion, even though I didn't know of the existence of this program (more a first-person shooter kind of guy, not card games), but after compiling, this worked like a charm (although the menu bar names at the top are all scrunched together; not the neatest of presentations).

Using the script and information provided by Ponce, and the source for version 3.22.0, it compiled and now works as it should.

Many thanks to everyone for the suggestions and links!



PS: Looks just as it should.

You're Welcome.
