Bug 43775 – KDiff3 crashes and exits when trying to compare files on amd64

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description kevin 2004-03-05 00:03:13 UTC]

When I attempt to compare two files with KDiff3 it exits. This information is output to the console:

weakest_link root # kdiff3

Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy
ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 979, errno = 0


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.run kdiff3
2.select two files
3.compare

Actual Results:  
KDiff3 exits 

Expected Results:  
displayed diff info about the files 

For the moment I would recommend that kdiff3 be removed from amd64 as I have 
verified this bug with praetor in #gentoo-amd64 in irc.freenode.net

[Comment 1 SpanKY 2004-03-05 06:34:51 UTC]

what if you `env CFLAGS=-pipe emerge diffutils`

[Comment 2 kevin 2004-03-05 09:34:29 UTC]

Nope. Still the same problem. Also tried merging both programs using CFLAGS="-O0" and the problems still persisted.

[Comment 3 Brad House 2004-03-06 10:53:16 UTC]

this is not critical 
if a single app that the rest of a base system does NOT depend
on is not functional, that doesn't affect anything other than that
app ... again, NOT critical

[Comment 4 kevin 2004-03-07 14:53:38 UTC]

Sorry about that...hadn't actually realized that I did that. I had not intended to mark it as such...Wonder how I managed to do that...?

[Comment 5 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) 2004-04-10 21:46:23 UTC]

app-misc/kdiff3-0.9.82 works here without problems. could you test this and let us know if it works for you?

[Comment 6 Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) 2004-04-24 14:03:09 UTC]

Travis, kdiff3-0.9.82 doesn't work for me either...

[Comment 7 Jason Huebel (RETIRED) 2004-05-27 14:38:56 UTC]

I'd like to recommend merging kompare, if you want a good GUI for diff.

[Comment 8 Jason Huebel (RETIRED) 2004-05-27 14:39:46 UTC]

BTW, kompare is part of kdesdk...

[Comment 9 kevin 2004-05-28 09:56:16 UTC]

If someone would tell me just how to run/merge compare it would be much appreciated. Tried typing compare at the command line with no success and running slocate kompare yeilds nothing...so did I miss something here?

[Comment 10 Jason Huebel (RETIRED) 2004-06-17 08:42:45 UTC]

Resovled with kdiff3-0.9.86.
