Crash when Options --> View --> File List

Post by Eclipse »

As the subject of this thread suggest I'm having this crash every time I select that option.
I'm running SUSE Linux, XnView v.1.70

The following is the output from shell ( Error detected appears when I hit File List):

Code: Select all

Unfortunately we're having this problem using the RedHat static xnview binary on Damnsmalllinux, too.

strace -fivp says there is a segfault.

With the -c option there appears to eb a problem reading/accessing something.

This internet cafe's pc is infected with malware preventing pasting into firefox, otherwise I'd paste the output.

My apologies for the multiple posts! - it didn't appear to be posting at all - said "error - timed out - debug mode" - so I kept trying to post. When I revisited the site ....

Here's what gdb says:

Code: Select all

(no debugging symbols found)...
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Ok, i'll check on damnsmalllinux. And which version of Suse do you have?

Thanks Pierre! Great the way you get on the case so quickly.

I'm just wildly (probably foolishly!) guessing but is it possible that:

1. Function XtWidgetToApplicationContext () is been handed an incorrect argument for some reason? Or:

2. There's a problem with Motif and libXt. Googling I found examples of similar(?) problems in other applications where motif had been statically compiled in - led to some kind of clash between libXt versions I think.

The SUSE I used was a 9.1 pro

hi also have problem with xnview 1.70 static rh6 vers. on this issue
possible workaround to manually edit ~/.xnviewrc
for unavailable options and stay clear of view /file list
my test system Mandrake 10.0 community

however, after instaling Openmotif 2.2.2 binary from
http://www.motifzone.net/index.php
find out that XnView-openmotif2.2.i386.rpm
(that is version 1.68 ) is working on this issue
dont know about other issues

is it possible to add XnView-openmotif for v1.70?
(at least temporarily,awaiting impatiently for new 1.90 :) )
