I've been using gaim 1.5 for a while now and just recently it's starting to crash. It might not like being built with some new gtk library or something. I've tried the usual stuff like rebuilding the package, revdep-rebuild, but it's not fixing the problem. So I rebuild gaim with the debug USE flag and even created a backtrace using gdb. Here's the info: Portage 2.1.1_pre2-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1/vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.16.19 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16.19 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 1900+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.1 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 2.0.0_rc1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.4.19-r1, 2.6.11-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /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/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.ccccom.com http://gentoo.binarycompass.org http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/d istfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/opt/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X aac alsa apache2 apm avi berkdb bindist bitmap-fonts browserplugin cli crypt cups dlloader dri dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode esd ffmpeg flac f oomaticdb fortran frontendonly gd gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 icecast imlib innodb ipv6 isdnlog joystick jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mjpeg mmx motif mp3 m peg musicbrainz mysql mythtv ncurses nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia ogg opengl oss pam pcre pdflib pdo perl pic png ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readlin e real reflection rtc sdl session shout spell spl sse ssl startup-notification tcpd theora tidy truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode vorbis win32cod ecs xml xorg xosd xv zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_nvidia video_cards_nv" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS And here's the backtrace: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Did you recently update gcc or glibc? If so please run fix_libtool_files.sh and tell me if this fixes
So I run: # eselect compiler list Available compilers for CTARGET i686-pc-linux-gnu [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6/hardened [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6/hardenednopie [3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6/hardenednopiessp [4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6/hardenednossp [5] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6/vanilla [6] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1/vanilla Activated profiles: i686-pc-linux-gnu * i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1/vanilla So I must've upgraded from gcc-3.4.6. Now I run: # fix_libtool_files.sh 3.4.6 It fixes a bunch of stuff but I get the same problem. Gaim starts up but after a minute or two of talking, it will crash.
I am also having this problem (same gtk errors). Running ~x86. Occurs with gaim 2.0 beta3 and beta2 as well as 1.5.0. Downgrading gtk+ a couple of minor versions also had no effect.
Which version of gtk do you guys have installed? Johnathan, how far back did you downgrade?
(In reply to comment #4) > Which version of gtk do you guys have installed? Johnathan, how far back did > you downgrade? > I went back to 2.8.18 and then 2.8.17 which according to my emerge.log was in use before gaim broke. Emerged 2.8.19 again when I saw that didn't help. I'm currently attempting to see of there is a dependency of gtk+ that was also upgraded.
I'm running gtk+ 2.8.19
I did some testing and found that if I emerge gtk+ with USE=debug it works. CFLAGS in make.conf: -O3 -mtune=athlon-mp -march=athlon-mp -fforce-addr -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse,387 -s CFLAGS resulting from USE=debug gtk+-2.8.19: -O3 -mtune=athlon-mp -march=athlon-mp -fforce-addr -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse,387 -s -g -g -g Normally gtk+-2.8.19: -O3 -mtune=athlon-mp -march=athlon-mp -fforce-addr -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse,387 -s Unless the -g flag does something other than what is written in the GCC documentation, I can't see why this does anything. For the sake of brevity just the first line of emerge --info: Portage 2.1.1_pre2-r6 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1/vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-rc5 i686)
Ajay, could you please also try this and report back if it fixes the problem.
adding "x11-libs/gtk+ debug" to my /etc/portage/package.use and rebuilding gtk+ fixed the issue. Well, I'm chatting with multiple people at once for over a minute without it dying.
I'm a bit suspicious that gcc-4.1.1 may be at fault for this strange behaviour. No real evidence for this or means to get it though.
While it's possible that gcc-4.1.1 may be at fault, I"m not totally convinced. I started with 4.1.1 on this install and had no issues similar to this one (that doesn't mean it isn't possible, i could have just gotten lucky). Either way I'll close the bug now since it's technically fixed.
