[Comment 1 Lars Strojny 2005-07-28 11:09:02 UTC]

If I enable the epiphany-extension «Ad block» epiphany segfaults when I try to
exit it (current ~x86). Tell me how to create a sensible debugging output.

I forget to say, that this only takes place if I load a page when browsing which
provides ads, so that the extension is active.

[Comment 3 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-08-06 05:03:40 UTC]

basically:

FEATURES="nostrip" USE="debug" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -g -ggdb" emerge packagename

where you replace CFLAGS with yours.  You may have to recompile other libs
besides epiphany and the adblock extension to get anything useful.

Also see,
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/bugzilla-howto.xml

for how to use gdb to start the program and get the backtrace.

Thanks!

This is an upstream problem, that requires a couple of patches applied to
mozilla's codebase. See http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170518

For now we have disabled the 'adblock' extension in our ebuilds. Thanks for the
report.
