Description Jill Mitchell 2003-04-12 15:19:01 UTC
I emerged Opera, and attempted to start it as a user, and got this message:

/usr/bin/opera: line 138:  6213 Segmentation fault      "${BINARYDIR}/opera" "${@}"

Yeah, I get that too... beats the heck out of me what causes it, I spose I could strace it and look...

Azarah, seth I added you guys, cuz I know you know stuff... any hints would be helpful, on my system, this bug started hapening about ever 3rd time I started opera a while ago, currently, under enlightement, opera works OK, but in openbox, opera segfaults while trying to start.

heh so i know stuff ? =) 
 
i'll take a look...you want me to just emerge opera and try? 
Comment 3 Brandon Low (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-19 11:05:33 UTC
This is quite interesting:  It works now.  Update to the latest versions of xfree86, xft, pango, fontconfig, and see if that does it for you (I believe that was the difference for me)
Comment 4 Brandon Low (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-19 11:38:03 UTC
Oh, and you could try opera-7 if you want too.
Comment 5 Jill Mitchell 2003-05-09 16:37:51 UTC
I've been running emerge world several times a week, and have been using very late version of all the tools (pango, xfree, xft, fontconfig) you mentioned. However, Opera 7 works fine.

Closing bug, opera 7.11 which will be in stable profile soon fixes.
