[decker@cheetah ~]$ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): frysk-0.0.1.2006.01.22-0.FC5.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fire up frysk 2. Play with it for a few seconds. 3. Actual Results: Frysk disappears. Expected Results: I should be able to play with frysk a bit. Additional info:
I've been able to reproduce this using the FC5 rpm. This is mostly likely an issue with the beehive build environment, as building frysk from cvs or srpm locally does not result in the same issue. For the time being I would recommend one of these options until this is sorted out. More info on building from cvs at http://sourceware.org/frysk/build/
add upstream tracker
Correction: The FC5 rpm built locally from the srpm also seems to crash, but not immediately. Building from CVS is the best way to run frysk at this time
There appear to be two problems here: - something killing frysk out-right - something causing gc to hang, the latter bug's added to this's dependencies (also doing same upstream)
A new rpm has been pushed through beehive that should fix this problem.
The instant crash is understood to have been a transient problem with the build, fixed with the push through of the latest GCJ compiler.
