There seems to be a problem with a call into non-existent memory. The relevant versions (as far as I can tell) are: [ebuild R ] games-strategy/freeciv-2.0.8-r1 [ebuild R ] media-sound/esound-0.2.36-r1 [ebuild R ] x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.19 And the last few things from ltrace are: strcmp("none", "sdl") = -1 strcmp("esd", "sdl") = -1 strcmp("sdl", "sdl") = 0 SDL_WasInit(32, 0x804f58a, 0xb77b7e84, 0x8131ea0, 0x8232d28) = 0 SDL_Init(0x100010, 0x804f58a, 0xb77b7e84, 0x8131ea0, 0x8232d28) = 0 Mix_OpenAudio(22050, 32784, 2, 4096, 0x8232d28) = 0 Mix_AllocateChannels(8, 32784, 2, 4096, 0x8232d28) = 8 Mix_Volume(-1, 128, 2, 4096, 0x8232d28) = 128 dcgettext(0, 0x8120e6d, 5, 0x8131ea0, 0xbfbc0ed8) = 0x8120e6d vsnprintf("files.music_start", 1024, "files.%s", 0xbfbc0edc) = 17 strcmp("files.m_cruiser", "files.music_start") = -1 gtk_init(0xbfbc0f20, 0xbfbc0f24, 0xb77d2f6b, 0xbfbc0dbc, 0x8220043 <unfinished ...> --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ emerge --info: Portage 2.1-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1500MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 ccache version 2.3 [disabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.3 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 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: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /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 /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://128.213.5.34/gentoo/ http://gentoo.binarycompass.org http://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo/" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac acpi aim alsa ant apache2 apm arts asf audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo cdr cli crypt cups curl dlloader doc dri dvd eds emboss encode es esd evo exif f77 fam fbcon firefox flac flash foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gmp gnome gphoto2 gpm gps gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile imagemagick imlib ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg junit kde ldap libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly offensive ogg opengl oss pam pcre pda pdf pdflib perl php plotutils png postgres ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl ssl tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev vorbis win32codecs xine xml xml2 xmms xorg xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_synaptics kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_nvidia video_cards_fbdev video_cards_vesa" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
