This behaviour occurs when I run "openapp AClock". The error is about loading libnvidia-tls. I do not get this error on a machine running a radeon with ati-drivers installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. using either of the two /usr/GNUstep/System/Tools/Gentoo/config-gnustep-back-{xlib,art}.sh as the backend. 2. openapp AClock 3. failure Actual Results: Error (objc-load):libnvidia-tls.so.1: cannot handle TLS data 2004-11-11 22:11:47.000 AClock[1318] NSApplication.m:216 Assertion failed in initialize_gnustep_backend.

I have discoverd the problem. It is in one of the two nvidia-tls libraries. In my case these two libraries are /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 The problem library is /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 , I can fix the problem by doing cp /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629 This is therefor not a problem with gnustep or any of its ebuilds. reference-urls: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=34004&page=7 scrol down searching for `tls'. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=219943 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnustep/2004-01/msg00052.html
Giving this back to bug-wranglers to assign to the herd that takes care of stuff like this. Changing the title of the bug slightly to change the semantic weight of the problem.
OK... Need to reverse the tls choice thing in opengl-update
