Description ryan v... 2000-10-25 18:15:38 UTC
when trying to load kcontrol, I get a signal 11 error. The backtrace is as
follows:

any ideas? This also happened with KDE2RC2... but not at first. Initially
it worked fine, then one day it just started happening. It also happens
with KDE2 final. My theory is that I'm missing something important (but I'm
not a programmer, so really, I have no idea) :)

Thanks for any help you might be able to give me.

Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-10-30 15:19:38 UTC
Can't reproduce this anywhere. Make sure you're using the Red Hat packages rather than compiling Qt yourself - the current version of Qt has some bugs (relying on things that used to be that way in gcc 2.95.x but aren't required by the standards) we're patching out.
