I'll see about getting geomview removed from the x86_64 repo until this is resolved.
I can confirm this problem. Will try to look into it at the weekend.
This bug seems to be related to the new glibc (check malloc...) I had the same bug in FC3 for x86. Setting the environment variable MALLOC_CHECK_=0 resulted in starting geomview fine. This is a rude solution, but maybe a hint where to look for. Regards, Gerald
Gerald, you say you had similar problems in FC3/x86? Do tell more details (or better yet, open another bug report).
Yes, the same problem on FC3/x86. But yesterday I forgot to mention that I was NOT using the SRPMS from the extra repository, but a snapshot from http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/L.Wood/software/SaVi/src/unreleased/ geomview-snapshot-2004-02-21.tar.gz I had to add LIBS=-lm in front of ./configure. Then make, make install. This version crashes with MALLOC_CHECK_=1 as follows: malloc: using debugging hooks Reading VECT from "built-in camera geometry": can't read header counts [no text available] Error reading "built-in light ray": can't seek back far enough (on pipe?): > ... VECT 10 20 ... -----------^ can't construct built-in light ray malloc: using debugging hooks Geomview: internal error: Segmentation violation; dump core now (y/n) [n] ? With MALLOC_CHECK_=0 I get Error reading "built-in camera geometry": can't seek back far enough (on pipe?): > ... appearance {linewidth 4} > VECT > 7 17 4 -^ > 2 2 2 2 2 2 5 Error reading "built-in light ray": can't seek back far enough (on pipe?): > ... VECT 10 20 ... -----------^ can't construct built-in light ray but the camera-window, tools-window and main-window appear. I played with the examples, no chrashes. Gerald
Thanks Gerald. I'll look into getting a geomview-snapshot build pushed and see if I can get the upstream developers' eyes on this.
Ping -- what's the status of this?
i386 version works on x86_64, but the x86_64 version (as of 2005-07-24) gives: InstCreate: Undefined option: 7098544 Geomview: internal error: Segmentation violation; dump core now (y/n) [n] ? and dumps back to command line.
20040421 geomview(1.8.2-alpha) snapshot built and pushed to FC-4/devel repos.
Let me know how the new build works.
Closing, lack of feedback. Feel free to reopen if you have additional comment.
