I'm using ~x86 arch, and adeslets segfaults in gdb: adesklets 0.6.1 (Sun Sep 24 22:36:12 CEST 2006), on Linux 2.6.18-ck11-r1)] [i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc 686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1-r1)] Press TAB for hints.** adesklets: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x08088188 ** *** glibc detected *** adesklets: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x08088188 *** adeslets_installer has problem too: Retrieving data online...

> adeslets segfaults in gdb: [...] this is a problem with fontconfig new allocation scheme... A patch already exists upstream: http://adesklets.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=adesklets.git;a=commit;h=bcff137f866fcb05141cc07c82c2e2be3b671213 There are two ways to solve this: either compile adesklets against a pre-FcFini() fontconfig version (I didn't try everything in portage, but Fontconfig 2.2.3 works), or patch adesklets 0.6.1 accordingly. Either way, a new adesklets 0.6.2 release incorporating the changes will be produced in the next days and submitted for portage inclusion: watch gentoo's bugzilla.
Created attachment 101922 [details, diff] patch for fontconfig 2.4 compability Patch for adesklets-0.6.1 to fix fontconfig-2.4 incompability, until new version released.
Created attachment 101947 [details] Modified ebuild with patch for fontconfig-2.4 compability
Fixed (as new revision). Thanks for the submission!
Created attachment 108176 [details] adesklets log and emerge info Sorry but it's still an error on my system (with brand new adesklets-0.6.1-r1) and newest fontconfig (2.4.2). So I assume it should be reopened or should I open a new entry? Log attached.
I got wrong my test for detection of fontconfig >= 2.4... re-fixed (as same revision) :-)
