Can you attach the output of strace -o out `which gcompris` as a text/plain file please? I just tried it and it works fine for me. You might try CFLAGS="-pipe" emerge gcompris and see if that works. If that helps, we'll need to filter the CFLAGS.
Ok, tried CFLAGS="-pipe" emerge gcompris and the result is the same: segmentation fault, I tried strace -o out 'which gcompris' but that does not work on my machine :(
oh, right. Forgot one detail. emerge strace first, then try it again. ;-)
Created attachment 21986 [details] strace which gcompris
Ok, try it again, but this time make sure `which gcompris` actually returns the right answer. It looks like you didn't have /usr/games/bin/ in your path.
Created attachment 22017 [details] strace which gcompris now with correct path ok now i issued the command with the path: strace -o gcompris2.txt which /usr/games/bin/gcompris
uhh what i think he wants is `strace -o gcompris.txt /usr/games/bin/gcompris` make sure you're in the games group and you `source /etc/profile`
Created attachment 22019 [details] strace -o gcompris3.txt /usr/games/bin/gcompris ok, hope this one does the trick
Nope. please try again. Make sure the file you're planning to attach is more than just one line. ;-)
Created attachment 22023 [details] gcompris output with more than one line oops
fyi: qpkg -l orbit | grep etc gives no result at all
Created attachment 22484 [details, diff] Fix segfault on startup when LC_ALL,LC_MESSAGES,LANG are not exported The problem (segfault) happens when LC_ALL,LC_MESSAGES,LANG are not exported - 'locale' var become NULL and strcmp(locale,"C")
4.2-r1 has the patch, thanks sasha
