added ppc64 herds. interesting. Although this bug resembles Bug #98958, ppc64's 64-bit binary has caused the problem. However, pan started in my environment... I want to reproduce this problem in my environment. So, please tell me some information. * Which window manager are you using ? * When it starts on twm, do you have this problem ? * Have you set the LANG variable etc in .xinitrc etc ? If yes, please tell me content. thanks.
I have reproduced this problem in the following environments. * dev-libs/glib-2.8.4 * x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.7 * x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.99.15-r4 * using KDE This problem was not reproduced when not KDE but windowmaker was used. In addition, in the environment where gtk+-2.6.10-r1 is installed, this problem was not reproduced on KDE.

Any progress in solving this problem? For me it's the nastiest problem in my x+gtk+gnome environment. Many programs would cause that error, including evolution-2.4, sylpheed-2, epiphany, firefox-bin(32bit), thunderbird(32bit) on my system. But qt programs seem fine without that problem.
Created attachment 80079 [details, diff] patch for xorg-x11-6.8.2 I think that this problem was solvable on xorg-x11 which applied this patch. However, I have still done only the easy test... Note taken from http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@xfree86.org/msg07373.html
Howto use this patch 1. download Attachment 80079 [details, diff] 2. cd /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11 3. ebuild xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6.ebuild unpack 4. cd /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6/work 5. patch -p0 < /path/downloaded_patch_name 6. cd /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11 7. ebuild xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6.ebuild merge 8. ebuild xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6.ebuild clean
Thank you. I tried this fix manually on xorg-server-1.0.1-r4, but unfortunatelly it didn't work. The bug remains as before. Dehua

Yang, Thanks for your report. I tried Modular X recently. I reproduced the same problem, when pan, sylpheed, and kazehakase were run on xorg-server-1.0.2 and KDE-3.4.3. I attached the patch for xorg-server. The program of gtk+ can be run although I think that this patch is a code which is not good. Would you try these patches? Thanks in advance.
Yuta, Thank you very much. I tried the patch for xorg-server-1.0.99.902 manually, and it worked!!! Now yelp, epiphany, mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.7(32bit), and thunderbird(32bit) run flawlessly in my ppc64 with gnome-2.14. You realy did a good job, thank you for all your efforts made to improve gentoo ppc64 linux. I also think that your multilib libraries for running 32-bit ppc programs could be release as of a beta, in fact I have being using them for almost half of a year, running oper-8.51 browser. I realy want to use firfox-1.5 under ppc64 with multilib, but don't know how: Could you kindly tell me how to compile and emerge firefox-1.5 in ppc64? Thank you again. Dehua
*** Bug 98958 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
net-news: not a error on your side. -> reassigning to x11@g.o x11: would you mind applying this patch (on ppc64 only)? This would help a lot of applications not to crash. I don't know if this is a hack or a fix, so I'm not sure if this should be reported upstream.

Michel Dänzer pointed out that 'typedef unsigned long GlyphSet' isn't the same size on 32/64 bit architectures, so either the Render protocol or server code isn't 32/64 clean. Please file an upstream bug at bugs.freedesktop.org in the xorg product, and post the URL here. Once a fix is committed upstream, please reopen the bug. Thanks!
