 Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2004 8:24 pm Post subject: Fluxbox segmentation fault |
 |
|
'Allo!
My box just started seg faulting when i exec fluxbox. I recently upgraded to fluxbox-0.9.8-rc1 (couple of days ago, i think), but I'm just now getting these segmentation faults. I've already recompiled fluxbox, stepped it down a version, rebooted, etc., but I still no go. Also, the x server is running like a champ, and I can run x apps with no problems.
Are more details logged somewhere so I can figure out what the hey is going is on here? And what IS a segmentation fault, anyway? Thanks in advance!

| Segmantation faults can occur for many reasons... In my experience it's mostly related to your cflags settings, So I would suggest that you reemerge fluxbox with a little more conservative cflags... if you're using -O3 maybe you'd wan't to change it to -O2 and try again... |

Thanks for the pointer! I love linux ... i can feel my IQ rising as I type 
As it turns out, I had removed my CFLAGS to "fix" another "problem" and I'd forgotten to restore them! I set them back to "-03 mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" and recompiled ... still seg faulting. So I set it to "-02 ...." and it's still seg faulting.
In regard to the CFLAGS being unset, I recall having executed an "emerge -uv world" in the interim ... is it possible I may have really borked a dependency? I just did an "emerge -epv world" ... didn't look too daunting ... maybe the way to go to fix it?

Ohhh the n00b label next to my name is glaring oh so bright ...
Since doing an ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -uv world the other day, every program I compile results in a segmentation fault when executed.
Recompiling GCC ... let you know how it works out.

w00t!! recompiling gcc resolved the issue ... something having to do with the linker for gcc (ld) ... oh well, it works now!
