Description Alexandre Sanches 2004-04-18 18:42:44 UTC 
Started even from command line, it simply crashes, giving no error messages.
A dialog box in gnome simply appears, saying the application just made a segfault, before any window appeared.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Alt+F2
2. "devhelp"
3.

Comment 1 Ciaran McCreesh 2004-04-18 18:47:21 UTC 
Does this still happen if you use sane CFLAGS?
Comment 2 Leonardo Boshell (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-05-18 16:22:52 UTC 
I can't reproduce this segfault. Please provide a backtrace so we can have a better idea on what's going on. Also, you forgot to mention which version of devhelp you have installed.
Comment 3 Leonardo Boshell (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-08 21:25:35 UTC 
No further information..
Comment 4 Alexandre Sanches 2004-06-09 12:10:36 UTC 
In fact this bug is not a devhelp bug : after having uninstalled ebook-zvt, the problem was solved.
