gFTP segmentation fault on slack 13.0

dguy · 01-12-2011, 12:21 PM

Hi,

Does gFTP have any prerequisites other than those listed in its README file?

I have a situation similar to this thread from a year ago - Using the gftp package distributed with Slack 13.0, I receive a segmentation fault when trying to launch it.

strace reported a truckload of "no such file or directory" errors, generally involving locale files, however the presence (or absence) of the glibc-i18n package has no effect.

Any suggestions would be apprecited. I'm stumped!

It would help if you posted what the "no such file or directory" errors are.

The errors follow. They've been manually pruned from the strace capture, which is too large to post in its entirety.

can be you installed some 64bit packages on a 32bit slack or vice-versa?

deps should be these (took 'em from stabellini's PACKAGES.TXT)

Code:

atk
cairo
cxxlibs | gcc-g++,expat
fontconfig
freetype
gcc
glib2
glibc-solibs
gtk+2
libX11
libXau
libXcomposite
libXcursor
libXdamage
libXdmcp
libXext
libXfixes
libXi
libXinerama
libXrandr
libXrender
libpng
libxcb
ncurses
openssl | openssl-solibs
pango
pixman
readline
zlib

Doubtful - the distribution ISOs were definitely 32-bit when I downloaded them & burnt the discs, and I'm painstakingly careful when it comes to picking up patches.

Thanks. I had missed a couple of lib packages which have now been installed, however the error persists.

Progress?

It seems that if I drop to runlevel 3, or open a ssh session and invoke gftp from a command prompt that it will run (without the GUI).

dguy · 03-10-2011, 11:27 AM

On further analysis, I'm starting to suspect that it has something to do with gftp's interaction with the WINDOWPATH and/or DISPLAY environment variables.

The presence (or absence) of these two variables appears to make the difference between a segfault and not...
