After I upgraded python to the latest stable 2.4.1-r1, gajim has ceased working. I have run python-updater, and everything else seems to work except for gajim and bittornado. I can reproduce this with the latest stable gajim-0.8.2 and all the recent svn versions I have tried. Starting with a fresh configuration makes no difference. Starting gajim gives: /usr/bin/gajim: line 26: 8947 Segmentation fault ./gajim.py $@ The number which is 8947 here seems to be incresing every time I try to run gajim. The line 26 in question is 'import pygtk' -- however, importing pygtk in a python shell works correctly. Trying to run gajim.py with python -v dies with: [snipped the beginning, will attach everything later] import psyco # precompiled from /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/psyco/__init__.pyc dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/psyco/_psyco.so", 2); dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/array.so", 2); import array # dynamically loaded from /usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/array.so Segmentation fault Examining gajim with strace gives no obvious clues to me, but I'll attach the output as well in case it helps. Any clues? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run gajim Actual Results: Segmentation fault. Expected Results: A working gajim.

Bug solved. Solution: emerge >=dev-python/psyco-1.3 The problem is caused by psyco-1.2. As noted in Psyco's home page, psyco-1.2 does not support python 2.4. The ebuild for psyco-1.2 has a DEPEND for <dev-lang/python-2.4, but when the system still has python-2.3, portage will happily install psyco-1.2 for python-2.4, even though that just won't work, and 'import psyco' will cause an instant segfault. I probably should file a separate bug for this.
