Hi! The xdvipdfmx seg. fault when I try to convert any xdv to pdf. But if a dl the binary provided on Xetex site in rpm format it works great. Using Texlive 2007 (but I think the problem is related to amd64 because a see reports of xdvipdfmx working with Gentoo+Texlive+32bits) emerge --info Portage 2.1.3_rc8 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.19-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.19-gentoo-r4 x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-34 Gentoo Base System release 1.12.10 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 13 Jul 2007 00:20:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.22 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon64 -pipe -msse3" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon64 -pipe -msse3" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/gentoo/ http://adelie.polymtl.ca/" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LINGUAS="en pt_BR" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/overlays/sci-gentoo /usr/local/overlays/musicbrainz-overlay /usr/local/overlays/xgl-coffee /usr/local/overlays/einit-overlay /usr/local/overlays/initng" SYNC="rsync://rsync.samerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X aac acl acpi alsa amd64 audiofile bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts blas bluetooth bzip2 cairo cdr cjk cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dga doc dri dv dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss emul-linux-x86 encode esd evo exif fam ffmpeg fftw firefox flac fortran ftp gcj gd gdbm gif gmp gnutls gpm gsl gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal iconv ieee1394 imagemagick imlib immqt-bc ipv6 isdnlog javascript jingle jpeg kde kdehiddenvisibility kdexdeltas kerberos kipi lapack lcms ldap libg++ lua mad matroska midi mikmod mmx mp3 mpeg mpi mudflap ncurses nls nowin nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcmcia pcre pdf perl png pppd python qt qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session slang spell spl sqlite sqlite3 sse sse2 sse3 ssl svg tcltk tcpd tetex threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb vcd vim-pager vim-syntax vim-with-x visualization vorbis wifi x264 xcomposite xml xml2 xorg xscreensaver xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="atiixp" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INITNG_PLUGINS="also bash_launcher chdir chroot conflict cpout critical ctrlaltdel daemon_clean debug_commands envparser find fmon fstat history idleprobe initctl interactive iparser last limit lockfile logfile netdev netprobe ngc4 ngcs nge pause provide reload renice rlparser simple_launcher stcmd stdout suid syncron syslog sysreq unneeded usplash" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en pt_BR" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="radeon fbdev vesa" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS Thanks!

I discussion about this seg. fault is running on the xetex ml, I don't look like a upstream problem. Thanks.
Can you please let me know what version of freetype you are using? There appear to be some incompatible changes to freetype that may be causing the problems. I've been discussing this with the author already. Also, if you could revert to freetype-2.1.10-r3 and retest that would be very helpful. Oh, and apologies for the delay in answering. I have infrequent access to the net at the moment.
Changing disable to enable at the line enable_option FT_CONFIG_OPTION_OLD_INTERNALS in the freetype ebuild fixes the problems. Seems like there is some black magic in the xdvipdfmx code relying upon that.

Created attachment 125256 [details] Ebuild for 0.4

Yes, xdvipdfmx-0.4 works with provided ebuild and patch.
Remy's ebuild and patch work nicely for me (thanks!), apart from a minor error which results in a glibc double free when generating PDFs containing certain types of fonts, like this: *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/xdvipdfmx: double free or corruption (out): 0x00000000004236e0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6[0x2ba10ed74b1d] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_free+0x76)[0x2ba10ed76146] /usr/bin/xdvipdfmx[0x41b9e5] /usr/bin/xdvipdfmx[0x41ca7c] /usr/bin/xdvipdfmx[0x41eab0] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4)[0x2ba10ed27374] /usr/bin/xdvipdfmx[0x403299] The error is at src/dvi.c:1904 in the patched sources (corresponds to line 20 of Remy's patch). buffer is declared without an initialiser, but then conditionally allocated (dvi.c:1916), and then unconditionally freed (dvi.c:1971). This causes a double-free when the condition at dvi.c:1906 is false, which apparently happens for some fonts. The trivial fix is to add an initialiser to the declaration of buffer: FT_Byte *buffer = NULL; since free(NULL) is a noop. I will attach an updated patch.
Created attachment 129925 [details, diff] Patch to fix access to metrics tables (with buffer initialiser) Obsoletes the previous patch, with a minor bug fix. Bugzilla won't let me mark the old one as obsolete? :-(
Hi Joshua, I hope you'll read this because you're currently marked away :/ I'll need this to have xetex on texlive working fine (plus some virtual/tetex -> virtual/latex-base changes) the patch I have been using for some time in my overlay is basically what you get by typing svn diff -r92:93 http://scripts.sil.org/svn-public/xdvipdfmx/TRUNK/ and you can get it here : http://overlays.gentoo.org/dev/aballier/browser/texlive-overlay/app-text/xdvipdfmx/files/xdvipdfmx-0.4-ft2-internals.patch plus this needs a version bump to 0.4 If you can't answer, I hope you won't mind if I fix the bug ;)

I'm just getting ready to come back, having finally got a working machine and looking at hopefully having some time, but I'm not protective of my ebuilds. Next step will be to get enough net access to get the tree up and running again. I can only test it on amd64 now, so can't do that much extra testing. So go for it.
(In reply to comment #13) > So go for it. thanks, I've commited it. could you please ping/mail me once you're back ? I've enabled xetex in texlive, as it was stated on xetex website that it would be maintained there, but as far as I can see we can still fetch the same versions as those in texlive from sil.org and having xetex enabled in texlive triggers some circular deps with some fontconfig deps + use doc, they need a latex compiler to build their docs... for the time being, I'll try to have something clean and working on my side
