i use scim. when i start a gtk-sharp application (any gtk-sharp app), it crashes with: *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0829df88 *** Aborted (well, not exactly at the beginning.. it crashes when it gets shown with a text-editable-field (where scim would do his job)..so for example muine starts fine, it crashes when you open the play-album window) i'll attach a very simple gtk-sharp app that demonstrates the problem. running it with mint (not mono), gives some more info: *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08279db0 *** Nothing can catch this exception: ExecutionEngineException: Abort (SIGABRT). #0: 0x00009 calli.nat in (wrapper managed-to-native) Gtk.Widget:gtk_widget_show_all (intptr) ([0x81a36a8] ) #1: 0x00003 vcall in Gtk.Widget:ShowAll () () #2: 0x0001e vcallvirt in GtkSharpTutorial.helloworld:Main (string[]) ([0x808d8c0] ) does this mean that it crashes in the gtk_widget_show_all method? i tried this on ubuntu-linux, and there it works fine. glibc-2.3.4.20041102 (+nptl +nptlonly) gtk+2.6.1-r1 gtk-sharp-1.0.4-r1 mono-1.0.5-r3 scim-1.0.2 ps: there is an another problem with scim (not related to gtk-sharp). howto-reproduce: 1. launch gedit 2. choose the scim input method (if it not the default) 3. start the scim input method (usually ctrl+space) 4. select the m17n-ja-anthy method 5. enter some text 6. press F7 (commit as katakana) *** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list: 0x085aef88 *** so i wonder..is it some kind of problem with my gentoo? btw. should i report this scim+m17n problem as a separate bug? gabor@dubb ~ $ gedit *** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list: 0x085aef88 ***
Created attachment 50906 [details] hello.cs i attached hello.cs, a very simple gtk-sharp app. compile it with: "mcs hello.cs -pkg:gtk-sharp" and run with: "mono hello.exe" or "mint hello.exe"
This seems to be related to a problem with scim, not with gtk-sharp, but CCing dotnet anyway. Can you get any useful backtraces when this happens?
useful-backtraces: how? i tried this: gtk, mono compiled with the "debug" USE flag. gdb mint run hello.exe bt backtrace attached... is this bt useful?

Well, that definitely seems to point to scim as the ultimate cause... Does the equivelant code in C cause the same error? Trying to break on the scim_get_module_list() function and stepping from there may be insightful as well.

Change your CFLAGS to have -g (and maybe remove all other flags to be safe) and add 'nostrip' to your features. Then re-emerge scim.
hello.cs works fine on my env. sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r3 x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.19 dev-dotnet/gtk-sharp-2.8.2 and dev-dotnet/gtk-sharp-1.0.10 dev-lang/mono-1.1.13.8.1 app-i18n/scim-1.4.4 Please reopen if you still have problem.
