Editing /etc/make.conf to use -O2 then re-rmerging gnumeric results in a binary that works. Is there any way to force -O to use -O2 in the ebuild. Thanks. liquidx@gentoo.org 2004-02-15 03:13:46 0000 emerge info? you should always include that in all your bug reports. liquidx@gentoo.org 2004-02-15 03:14:16 0000 and you should also give some more information, like console output, gnumeric version, etc. agent_jdh@yahoo.co.uk 2004-02-15 07:14:58 0000 The subject of the bug report should have been "Gnumeric segfaults when compiled with -Os" Gnumeric version 1.2.4 and 1.2.6 both have the same issue. This has been raised in the forums in the past http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=115316&highlight=gnumeric+segfault When Gnumeric segfaults, it starts bug-buddy, and this is the backtrace/debug output - Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/gnumeric' (no debugging symbols found)...Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

() I use CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" This can be fixed in one of two ways 1. Modify CFLAGS to ="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" or 2. Modify gnumeric ebuild, adding in the line after src_compile: src_compile() { replace-flags "-Os" "-O2" econf \ I've tried both, 2. is preferred, both result in a Gnumeric binary that does not segfault when you move out of a cell. foser@gentoo.org 2004-02-15 09:44:43 0000 you should debugbuild gnumeric (add 'inherit debug' on top of the ebuild & lower your CFLAGS) to get a useful backtrace. agent_jdh@yahoo.co.uk 2004-02-15 10:27:02 0000 OK I added debug to the inherit line in the ebuild, commented out my alteratin to force -Os to -O2, changed my CFLAGS to -Os and nothing else, and ran gnumeric through gdb. Here's the output: GNU gdb 6.0 .... This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-linux-gnu"...Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
