That's a bummer. Can you run it through gdb and give me a stack trace? My guess is that it's a configuration problem.


thanks

Hi kev000,

Your help on the X11 headers lead me to try the gentoo ebuild for some strange reason. Sure enough libnghost and nghost compiled fine

I am now also getting the segmentation fault but plugins are loaded etc and the screen flashes with the nghost window but disappears very quickly.

Ideas?

Cheers
Chris

kev000,
Your help is greatly appreciated on this...
I guess I could install ubuntu in my computer, but I like having the real thing installed in my computer(debian)
Anyhow, I would like to see this resolved, otherwise, I think I am going to have to go looking for another front end

kev000

vyper, can you type "bt" after you get to that point in gdb? That will give me the full stack trace.

I can't think of a reason why it would be crashing there. What resolution are you running at? Also, what version of X are you running?

also, make sure that "gui3" is disabled and you have compiled sdl_image with png support (learned from one of the guys that runs gentoo).

chris, can you also run this through gdb? I wonder if you are crashing at the same point as vyper....

is this debian etch or lenny? (sid?)???

Hi Kev000, I am running, Lenny
X.Org X Server 1.4.2
I have tried running the program at various resolutions, but that does not fix the problem, mainly running at 1400x1050, but like I said I have even tried with all the other available ones.

Any idea yet Kev00 on what the problem could be?

kev000

install the libxml++ dev package and you should be fine...

done, this is the new error message

hecking for sdl... configure: error: Package requirements (sdl) were not met:

No package 'sdl' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables sdl_CFLAGS
and sdl_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


same thing like last if i do make


Help!

Virtuoid : install the libx11-dev headers and you should be okay

chriswiggins: you are almost there. your current error seems to be a result of some outdated code somewhere. update libnghost and nghost, recompile, install and I think this issue will go away. It happens sometimes when you are using the bleeding edge code from svn. Good news though, you'll be able to experience all the goodies we are putting in before anyone else (along with all the bugs ).
