This has nothing to do with glibc, as WP8 clearly uses libc5, it doesn't use any of the glibc libraries. From the strace you cited it more looks like WP8 is incapable of grokking the xorg-x11 fs layout reshuffling (e.g. locale.alias is now in /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias etc.).

Word Perfect 8 appears to be hard coding the path to things on the filesystem, and crashing if it does not find what it is looking for there. This is a bug in Word Perfect not being compatible with X11R7. I'm not sure if Corel supports WP8 on Linux or not, so you may need to work around it using symbolic links, a chroot jail, Xen, VMware, or some other workaround. Setting status to "CANTFIX" as this is a bug in Word Perfect not Fedora Core. Thanks Jakub and Mike - good call! I tried the link ln -s /usr/share/X11 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 and that seems to have avoided the segfault. Now I get a pixmap error: An unrecoverable X Window server error has occurred. Your WordPerfect documents have been backed up in your backup directory. X Error of failed request: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 54 (X_FreePixmap) Resource id in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 2732 Current serial number in output stream: 2753 Can you suggest what to do to workaround that? |
Description of problem: after installing the compatability packages - ld.so-1.9.9-11.i686.rpm and libc-5.4.46-4.i686.rpm - Word Perfect 8 seg faults in FC5. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I don't know if this is a glibc problem or not. Maybe you know where to move this? Actual results: strace leading to seg fault was: access("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/50_foreground", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/X11R6/include/X11/icons/50_foreground", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- wpexc still runs, but everything else in wp seems to also segfault. selinux is permissive. kernel is 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 on an athlon. Additional info: Word Perfect still works fine in FC4, and lots of businesses still use Word Perfect 8, so this should be fixed.
