Segfault in Publisher 2.25 on Mandrake 9.0

[rbetzen]

Hmmm.....

Just wondering if anyone else gets a segfault on Publisher 2.25
and Mandrake 9.0.

Waiting and slobbering all over my keyboard.

Are you running the NAN version of publiser

The error that you are getting looks like one of the video drivers. What is your video card and do you have the latest drivers

Hello,

I just downloaded the NaN version and tried it. It works great

I have also Mandrake 9.0, but installed the NVIDIA 3123 drivers...

bye

I'm not sitting at that particular machine at the moment, but.....

ATI Radeon VE (7500? Not quite sure, have to check)
It's definitely one of the older ones.
Drivers from stock Mandrake distro, X11 4.2, I think. (generic radeon)
Resolution set to 16bit at 800x600.

I'll look at the driver issue when I get home. Thanks guys!

Probably wouldn't hurt to give machine specs. Sorry guys, kinda
hard to help someone when they don't give any info to go on...

AMD Duron 1300+
512 MB PC133 SDRAM
120 GB 7200 RPM HDD
ATI Radeon VE 7500
MSI Mainboard - have to check the model. (Duh, I forgot )

Obviously, I built this machine myself so I wouldn't be surprised if
I've shot myself in the foot on this one. (Built according to the wishes
of my wallet, not my personal tastes )

Hello,

I thought about it a second time, and you should do:

1. Look if the binary finds all libraries. This can be done by calling ldd. Something like this:

Code: Select all

[heli@helium source]$ ldd blendercreator-ph-2.25b

Either there should be a list of libraries and no "not found",
or it comes a "not a dynamic executable".
If a library is not found you have to install it and try again, maybe this is the problem.

2. You can set the core file size with ulimit and look at gdb (or post its output). Something like this:

Code: Select all

[heli@helium source]$ ulimit -c 1000000
[heli@helium source]$ <call blender here and hope a core file is created... or better blender runs >
[heli@helium source]$ gdb --core=core.XXXXX <should be the core file>

In gdb you can type in "bt" for backtrace and look if it says something helpful

May the source be with you

Looks to me like all the libraries are present.
I would like to point out that creater 2.23 works just fine on my system.
Havent tried creater 2.25 yet, though.
I'm trying to get _Publisher_ to work. I tried your suggestion and didn't come up with any problems with the libraries as far as I can tell....

I haven't had the time to check into my video drivers yet. I hope to do
this tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion
