I had the same problem also in RedHat 6.1 On my other PC (AMD K6/200 + RedHat 6.2) the problem does'nt happen. Created attachment 201 [details]
strace and ltrace of mc runs (both as root and as user)
I am unable to reproduce this at all, and cannot glean any insight from the backtrace. Can you try a newer package and tell me if it still happens. I have tried mc-4.5.51 both from helix and Mandrake ... same problem. I have not yet tried the rawhide version ... too many things to upgrade, sorry I have reinstalled a RedHat 6.2 from scratch on a new disk. Now mc works on my K7 also when I am root. |
My system is a RedHat 6.2 on a AMD K7. When I use mc as a user it works fine. When I start mc from the root account it says: [root@sterbini /root]# mc GLib-CRITICAL **: file gstrfuncs.c: line 993 (g_strcasecmp): assertion `s1 != NULL' failed. GLib-CRITICAL **: file gstrfuncs.c: line 993 (g_strcasecmp): assertion `s1 != NULL' failed.
