Bug 35926 – Pachi crashes immediately

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Charles Goodwin 2003-12-16 02:17:19 UTC]

$ emerge pachi

...some time later...

$ pachi
can't read from file
can't read from file
can't read from file
Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

Yes, I'm in the 'games' group.

What does the output of "strace /usr/games/bin/pachi" tell you?
Can you post that please?  Also, you didn't post the output of "emerge --info"
as request on the bug submission page.

Just for fun, please post the output of "id" as well.  Thanks.

Hmm well running Pachi directly from /usr/games/bin/pachi works!  But it doesn't if you run the available 'pachi' shortcut.

Strace output of 'pachi'

[Comment 4 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-12-16 03:20:42 UTC]

Looks likes you have a version of pachi installed in 
/usr/local/bin/pachi

There is no "shortcut" installed for the pachi package.

[Comment 5 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-12-16 03:24:00 UTC]

It's clear from the strace output that the binary in /usr/local/bin is
trying (and failing) to read data files from /usr/local.  This is probably
some hand-installed package or something.  Nothing to do with Gentoo so
I'm going to mark this bug INVALID.  If you have problems with the
package as installed by "emerge pachi" feel free to re-open.  Thanks.

[Comment 6 Charles Goodwin 2003-12-16 03:42:48 UTC]

Nope, you're completely right.  My bad - I apologise.
