I used to have eq-xmms working, but (i think) since all the recent xmms activity (multiple new revs of 1.2.8, then un-mask of 1.2.10), something has been changed which makes eq-xmms segfault on activation. On console, I get, simply: Segmentation Fault You've probably found a bug in xmms... etc etc This happens as soon as the plugin is "enabled" (enable plugin checkbox) in the effects plugin preferences dialog. I'm only running x86 boxes, and this bug appears apparent on all the sub archs i am using (Pentium MMX, Pentium 2, Pentium 3, AthlonXP) I've noticed that the problem dissapears when I use 0.6 ebuild from bug 54969 Also, from the sourceforge website - a lot of segfaults have been fixed in this 0.6 version: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=496208&group_id=61119&func=browse Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xmms 2. emerge eq-xmms 3. in the "effect plugins" dialogue, click eq-xmms, then click "enable plugin" Actual Results: xmms immediately segfaults on step 3. Expected Results: The software is mean to activate the eq-xmms plugin and continue running. $ emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r8 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.6.7-gentoo-r5) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7-gentoo-r5 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" 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/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.megamirror.com/pub/gentoo http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Gentoo http://www.robhome.ath.cx/gentoo http://public.planetmirror.com.au/pub/gentoo http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.au.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X aalib acpi alsa apache2 apm arts avi berkdb bonobo cdr crypt cups dga dvd encode esd flac foomaticdb gdbm gif gimpprint gnome gpm gtk gtk2 icq imlib jabber java jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mbox mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png ppds python qt quicktime readline samba sdl slang socks5 speex spell sse ssl tcpd tiff truetype usb wmf x86 xinerama xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib"
rather than track this down, I decided to just remove the package and added 0.6 after some tweakage to work on other archs.
