Description of problem: Any attempt to launch bdb at all, no matter the command line arguments, results in this output: *** ERROR:class-num: Type `vector' expected, `bcnst' provided -- #unspecified and the program fails to start. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bigloo-2.8b-2.fc5 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type 'bdb' at the command line 2. 3. Actual results: The error message reported in the description is shown and the command prompt reappears. Expected results: bdb should have started correctly and let me debug a program. Additional info:
This is a Scheme error. Could please file a bug report upstream?
I reported this bug to the bigloo mailing list. On Sunday, Manuel Serrano sent mail to that list saying that the bug is now fixed in CVS, but gave no indication of how it was fixed.
I tried bigloo2.8c-alpha28Jul06.tar.gz, but it still has the problem. We will have to wait a few days.
The bug is apparently fixed in ftp://ftp-sop.inria.fr/mimosa/fp/Bigloo/bigloo2.8c-alpha02Aug06.tar.gz There are some issues I have to discuss with Manual, but I will soon make a new release.
I made a build of a beta release of 2.8c, and bdb seems to work now.
