Bug 48284 – devhelp crashes at start

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED NEEDINFO

[Description Alexandre Sanches 2004-04-18 18:42:44 UTC]

Started even from command line, it simply crashes, giving no error messages.
A dialog box in gnome simply appears, saying the application just made a segfault, before any window appeared.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Alt+F2
2. "devhelp"
3.

Does this still happen if you use sane CFLAGS?

[Comment 2 Leonardo Boshell (RETIRED) 2004-05-18 16:22:52 UTC]

I can't reproduce this segfault. Please provide a backtrace so we can have a better idea on what's going on. Also, you forgot to mention which version of devhelp you have installed.

[Comment 3 Leonardo Boshell (RETIRED) 2004-06-08 21:25:35 UTC]

No further information..

[Comment 4 Alexandre Sanches 2004-06-09 12:10:36 UTC]

In fact this bug is not a devhelp bug : after having uninstalled ebook-zvt, the problem was solved.
