Description preed 1999-05-27 01:57:56 EDT 
Every Qt/KDE application I have attempted to compile in
RH6.0 compiles fine, but core dumps with a segmentation
fault upon exit. This effectively makes many apps useless.

I've attempted compiling licq 0.61 and Kdevelop 0.3, and the
segfault occurs in exactly the same place on both, in libc,
presumably as part of a destructor call or some such; gdb
gives (exactly the same for both):

(gdb) core-file ./core
Core was generated by `./conftest'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

This has been forwarded to a developer for further review.
Comment 2 Preston Brown 1999-06-08 12:16:59 EDT 
Do you have a clean 6.0 install?  I can't duplicate this on my
machine, and as a KDE developer, trust me, I do a lot of Qt/KDE
programming.

------- Additional Comments From   06/09/99 00:26 -------
I found the problem!

It was an issue with my setup, however others I had talked to on the
licq mailing list had experienced the same thing and no one really had
an answer, so I don't know if you want to post this in a knowledge
base or FAQ or something somewhere so others who might have the same
problem will be able to fix it easily.

RedHat 5.2 shipped with gcc 2.7.2.3 and egcs 1.0.3, which coexisted
peacefully on the same machine.

This version of egcs was broken in some places, and unusable for what
I needed it for, so I installed the egcs team's 1.1b release RPMs.
They must have segmented their RPMs differently than RedHat packages
egcs for their releases.

Because of this, libstdc++ and libstdc++-devel, which I downloaded
with the 1.1b release, did not get clobbered/erased/upgraded when I
installed 6.0. Thus, egcs 1.1.2 was using the 1.1b versions of
libstdc++-devel; and things magically worked until IO was cleaned up
when the program finished (funny that).

The fix is to uninstall the old egcs libs and the current version of
egcs, and reinstall the RH 6.0 versions of egcs, including the
separate cpp RPM.

To reproduce, have a clean 5.2 box, install the 1.1b egcs RPMs, and
then upgrade to 6.0...the 6.0 installer won't catch this (not that it
should necessarily), and you'll be left with a tweaked egcs release.

Thanks for your help.
Comment 3 Preston Brown 1999-06-11 14:55:59 EDT 
attributed to bad interaction between the user's interim egcs RPM and
the 6.0 upgrade.
