WindowMaker appear to run ok when used with Gnome (although it crashes if i choose 'Exit' from the WindowMaker root menu instead of the gnome 'Logout' menu). But I can't make it run without gnome. If i do 'swichdesk windowmaker' and 'rm -rf ~/GNUStep', it runs, but if i customize it (add some appicons, workspaces etc...) it doesn't run any more, and it even crashes my computer when i lauch X (black screen, ctrl-alt-bkspace doesn't work..). I've tried also with the latest rawhide releases (WindowMaker-0.62.1-14.i386, WindowMaker-libs-0.62.1-14 and libPropList-0.10.1-6), but it is the same problem. With the tar.gz of WM 0.62.1 (not tuned, just ./configure && make install), it always crash the computer.
This sounds like you've got some seriously messed up libraries. Please tell me: What version of Red Hat Linux is installed on your machine? Did you upgrade it from a previous version? What version of glibc do you have? What version of gcc do you have?
Created attachment 3059 [details] pinstripe install.log
I did a full install of pinstripe (RH7.0beta), not an upgrade so my libraires are the ones provided by pinstripe. I've just joined my install.log (i selected packages by hand, maybe i forgot one..)
what archetecture are you using? It wont run without Gnome? This is just wierd.
i'm running it on an intel PII, with a S3virge graphics card, 1280x1024x16bpp mode i think the install did not set up X correctly: doing a rpm -qa | grep -i xfree, i see: XFree86-doc-4.0.1-0.37 XFree86-xdm-4.0.1-0.37 XFree86-xfs-4.0.1-0.37 XFree86-libs-4.0.1-0.37 XFree86-devel-4.0.1-0.37 XFree86-4.0.1-0.37 XFree86-tools-4.0.1-0.37 XFree86-xf86cfg-4.0.1-0.37 XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.0.1-0.37 XFree86-twm-4.0.1-0.37 XFree86-SVGA-3.3.6-32 (i choosed ftp install, custom package selection, did not select any xserver, accepted when install found that the svga server would be ok) but this is not the problem: i removed the 3.3.6 svga xserver, resintalled the other Xfree4.0.1 packages, and the computer still have problems: - with the pinstripe RPMs, i can run WindowMaker (without gnome) as long as i do not enable the Clip (in GNUStep/Default/WindowMaker ->DisableClip set to NO). If i enable the clip, the computer crashes and i have to reboot. - if i compile the sources, wmaker always gets a signal 11, even if the clip is disabled, with the following stack: (gdb) where #0 0x0 in ??

Maybe there are related to the same problem ?
