Ebuild is successful, and gaim starts and logs in, but gaim crashes immediately upon trying to open an im window to anyone. This is a problem with this ebuild or this version of gaim, as the ebuild for .78(-r3) works fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge gaim. 2. Start gaim. 3. Log in (to an AOL instanat messenger account, haven't tried others) 4. Double click someone's name to send a message Actual Results: Program dies (without an error message). Expected Results: Opened a new instant message window.
As stated in the post install message: emerge gaim with USE="debug", then get a backtrace as instructed at http://gaim.sourceforge.net/gdb.php. Paste that backtrace here.
Severity changed to normal. This is not a critical bug.
I have exactly the same problem. Tried emerging the latest Gtk+ and no luck, I get this: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x40372bc2 in gtk_tooltips_set_tip () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (gdb) bt #0 0x40372bc2 in gtk_tooltips_set_tip () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #1 0x40c33863 in ??

Not much info from the backtraces.. Chilling_Silence: It looks like your dying in gtk+. Try to re-emerge that and gaim. Ben: It looks like your dying in perl. Try to re-emerge libperl and perl and then re-emerge gaim. You can both run revdep-rebuild if that doesn't work.
Yes sorry if I wasn't clear. Rebuild both gtk+ and gaim, in that order, and then try.
Maybe this can help: i have the same problem with gaim-0.79-r1 but not with gaim-0.79 So maybe this buddyicon patch has something to do with this bug.
Ward which problem are you referring to? Right now there are two distinct backtraces here, each should be in it's own bug. Just because gaim also crashes for someone doesn't mean they have the same bug.
Don Seiler, my fault. I had the same problem here ( gaim crashes on opening an im window ) but after unmerge gaim-0.79-r1 and emerge gaim-0.79 it worked fine again. I have know again upgraded to 0.79-r1 and the problem is gone (Lucky me). I afraid i can't help anymore. Try to emerge 0.79 and see if the problem stays.
I just installed gaim-0.79-r1 and it works perfectly, so I'm not sure what the problem was. I've also been updating a lot of software and removing old packages; my system was kind of a mess. =) Anyway, if anyone is still having trouble i recommend (i know you don't want to, but) 'emerge --emptytree gaim' and then 'revdep-rebuild'. That should fix any possible problem.
Good to hear. Closing this as INVALID.
