I followed some advice I found on the forums and installed Neverwinter Nights manually to /usr/local/games, following the official Bioware installation notes -- and it works.

[Comment 2 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-04-17 12:43:20 UTC]

I'm guessing that you're using modular X, correct?

Can you attach a .diff from what "emerge nwn" installs versus what is installed into /usr/local?

[Comment 3 Sebastian Bergmann (RETIRED) 2006-04-17 22:31:58 UTC]

Created attachment 84876 [details]
diff -u /opt/nwn /usr/local/games/nwn

[Comment 4 Juergen Mann 2006-04-21 06:25:53 UTC]

I have this error too: after enter nwn, first the monitor gets dark for 2 seconds, then my KDE appears again and I see the error:
apalos@zicke ~ $ nwn
Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)
/opt/nwn/nwn: line 18:  1199 Segmentation fault      ./nwmain $@

[Comment 5 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-04-21 11:48:24 UTC]

OK... I just updated the nwn-1.66 ebuild in the tree.  I tested it locally, and it works perfectly.  Please try this new ebuild and see if it works for you.

[Comment 6 Sebastian Bergmann (RETIRED) 2006-04-21 22:59:28 UTC]

The updated ebuild works fine for me, too.

Thanks!

[Comment 7 Juergen Mann 2006-04-22 04:35:54 UTC]

Wich version of the ebuild is this? I made
emerge --sync
emerge nwn -s
and I see the installed version is similar to the available version. Nevertheless I reemerge nwn and try to run it. same error.
The installed version of nwn is 1.66-r1. 

[Comment 8 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-04-22 08:04:18 UTC]

For one, 1.66-r1 is *not* the same as 1.66... ;]

Anyway, I've updated 1.66-r1 now, too.  The machine where I was able to reproduce this is no longer having issues.  I would suggest you sync up again and reinstall both nwn-data and nwn, since you're using the split ebuilds.

[Comment 9 Damien 2006-07-23 04:37:10 UTC]

I have experienced the same message:

"Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)"

I am running nwn-1.67.  I recently updated some of the dependencies:

gettext-0.14.5
shared-mime-info-0.17-r2

I ran those updates because the problem I was having previously is that when the game tried to open up the game screen it crashed.

Tried re-emerging nwn.  I do not get the segfault but nwn still crashes just after "Loading Area".  See bug 141481

[Comment 10 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-07-26 07:37:33 UTC]

Those dependencies have nothing to do with NWN, so they won't make a difference.  Likely, the only things that would affect NWN is NWN itself, libsdl, or emul-linux-x86-sdl if you're on AMD64.  The SDL Parachute message is always a problem with the SDL loading on the system.  I cannot reproduce this problem on the new ebuilds, so I'd suggest trying again, specifically with the ~arch versions of the ebuilds.

If you're still having problems, then file a new bug.  Even though the error message is the same, this isn't the same bug.  Trust me on this.
