Running GAIM 0.77-r2. When I have ARTS running, and sound method in GAIM is set to ARTS, GAIM segfaults but does not die. It simply doesn't make any sound. When I have sound method in GAIM set to "automatic," GAIM segaults and dies. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start GAIM 2. make sure artsd is running 3. set sound method in GAIM to 'automatic' or 'arts' Actual Results: if sound method is 'automatic' GAIM will crash. if sound method is 'arts' GAIM will print a segfault message, then continue with no sound for that conversation. Expected Results: GAIM should play sounds via ARTS if sound method is set to 'arts'. took@brook grb $ emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r6 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.4.0, glibc-2.3.3_pre20040420-r0, 2.6.6-rc3-mm1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.6-rc3-mm1 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1300MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.13 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.58-r1 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -msse2 -mfpmath=sse" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -msse2 -mfpmath=sse" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo http://gentoo.noved.org/ ftp://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://212.219.247.15/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib alsa apm arts avi berkdb cdr crypt cups encode esd foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib java jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mpeg mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcltk tcpd truetype video_cards_radeon x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"

The "No debugging symbols found" messages in your backtrace indicate that you have built gaim without USE="debug". If there are no debugging symbols, the backtrace is pretty much useless. Your backtrace in particular doesn't list any gaim functions or files. Please USE="debug" emerge gaim and try to get a backtrace then.

Kit is this still an issue? Can you duplicate it in gaim-0.78?
Bug persists in gaim-0.78. gdb gives me this error: "warning: Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function.

Did you remember to build gaim-0.78 with USE="debug"? I don't see anything from gaim in your backtrace either and want to confirm.
Yes. Gaim is built with USE="debug". I've even downgraded to binutils 2.14.90.0.8-r1 and recompiled. No useful debug information.

For the record what version of ARTS do you have installed? Some folks in #gaim are having a look. One that I've spoken with uses ARTS just fine, although he says there is a slight delay in the playing.
Just noticed that you are using gcc 3.4.0 and glibc 2.3.3_preBLAH. They may be playing a part in this as well.
using arts 1.2.2. I suppose I could go back to glibc 2.3.2 and just get rid of GCC 3.4.0. I think I've tried compiling gaim with both GCC 3.3.3 and 3.4.0 with similar results.
After switching to glibc-2.3.3.20040420, removing GCC 3.4.0, installing GCC 3.3.3-r6, and re-emerging GAIM, the problem appears to be solved. I have tested GAIM with ARTS running, and GAIM with ARTS running and XMMS playing a song, and I got working sound. Life is beautiful once again.
Good to hear. nosnilmot in #gaim thought of that. kudos to him.
