hi, i tried every 2.0.x ebuild, but the problem is always the same: if i start gimp-2.0 it loads the plugins and at the end it says "starting extensions" "extension_script_fu". after this the gui seems to load for half a second, then gimp segfaults: $ gimp-2.0 (script-fu:27479): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error Segmentation fault i'm having those problem since 2 months when i completely reinstalled my system (format, ...). searching google did show some results, but no solutions. i also deleted ~/.gimp* everytime. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. just start gimp Actual Results: segmentation fault Expected Results: working gimp ;) i can't provide a gdb-trace here, because i don't know how to debug a program, when it has more child processes.

rebuild with CFLAGS="-g" and do a 't a a bt' in gdb. Ditch -fomit-frame-pointer from your default cflags please, its a bt killer. (#68282)
hi, tx for the -fomit-frame-pointer info. i have been running my gentoo system for nearly 2 years with this option and never had any problems, but i removed it now. after looking at the 'gimp-2.0 --verbose' output, i saw that gimp also parsed /etc/gimp/2.0/*. i was too fast deleting the /etc/gimp/ folder and don't know what was wrong, but after this gimp started up fine... (i did also compile with CFLAG -g and used +debug as USE-flag, but wasn't able to debug gimp.) you can close this "bug", sorry for the inconvenience. JG
