Description Gabor MARTON 2006-01-06 02:53:08 UTC 
Hi!

I have recently upgraded to x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.8, and now gaim segfaults if I run it as a normal user. If I run it as root, it runs fine. I have downgraded gtk+ to 2.6.10-r1 and that solved the problem.

I have the same problem, gaim segfaults when being started. This happens since I upgraded gtk+ to 2.8.8. Interesting is that gaim works fine when I compile and install outside of portage:
./configure --prefix=/tmp/gaim
make
make install
works just fine.

Would you mind terribly rebuilding gaim after updating gtk+ to 2.8.8 and let me know if the problem still persists?

I already rebuilt gaim-1.5.0, gaimosd-1.0.0 and gaim-extprefs-0.5 (the only plugins I use), but to no avail.

thanks anyway

By unmerging gaimosd, which is marked ~x86 btw, I managed to run gaim just fine. Thing is solved for me now, it's a pity to loose gaimosd, but it is marked unstable for a good reason.

Thank you and goodbye,
Niels

I'll resolve the bug for now, if you find it's happening again just re-open :)
