Bug 76118 – gnome-pim programs don't start, with errors abounding

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrew Conkling 2004-12-30 01:11:56 UTC]

I haven't been able to get the gnome-pim programs (gnomecal and gnomecard) to start at all.  When I try, the CPU is aggresively throttled, enough so that lla performance is almost halted.  The errors below are output within a minute (blank/redundant lines omitted), but I haven't let the program run much longer than that to see if it actually starts (I doubt that it would).

Googling only turned up a number of similar problems (they seem to revolve around fonts or encoding AFAICT), but in all my wading, I couldn't find any solutions.

hm you didn't compile xorg-x11 without bitmap-fonts USE set or something?

[Comment 2 Andrew Conkling 2005-01-16 20:15:39 UTC]

Nope:
x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3  -3dfx -3dnow +bitmap-fonts -cjk -debug -dlloader -dmx -doc -hardened -insecure-drivers -ipv6 +mmx +nls +pam -sdk +sse -static -xprint

Any other ideas?

Are you still experiencing this problem?

[Comment 4 Andrew Conkling 2005-07-02 16:25:03 UTC]

I'm not even using Gentoo anymore, so no. :)
