Forgot to add I am running Selinux but have it in permissive mode. dmesg reported no problems with conky or Selinux rejection.

try producing a minimal conkyrc which produces this behaviour. The crash happens in curl code, so i'd start by removing everything except the curl variables (and possibly weather and rss).
Bonus points if you can make it crash with out_to_x no.

localhost one # emerge -pv conky

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

As far as I can tell it was compiled without curl. When I get home from work tommorrow I will try recompile with min. environment.

You are using rss. This automatically enables curl, as we need it for the downloading of rss feeds.

[Comment 6 darin hensley 2011-08-04 16:37:47 UTC]

I compiled this without curl and without rss and it does not crash. so, yes the problem is with curl. Can this be forwarded to Conky development? Or is there a newer version of Curl recommended? Currently using net-misc/curl-7.21.7-r2:0

[Comment 7 Daniel Pielmeier 2017-02-18 15:34:49 UTC]

This version of conky is long gone. Please reopen if there are still issues with the current version.
