I am trying to compile tuxtype (http://www.geekcomix.com/dm/tuxtype/) and it runs ok, but crashes when exiting. (Locking my screen in a low-resolution mode.) I have noted, though, that plaympeg crashes in the same way, so a bug report versus smpeg seems a proper place to start, even if I suggest arts. The crash appears to happen in the library libmcop from the arts package: (gdb) bt #0 __pthread_mutex_lock (mutex=0x15579080) at mutex.c:99 #1 0x15cf3a58 in __tcf_0 () from /usr/lib/libmcop.so.1 #2 0x1583d50b in exit (status=0) at exit.c:54 #3 0x15828630 in __libc_start_main (main=0x8057a60 <strcpy+58808>, argc=1, ubp_av=0x3ffff344, init=0x8049060 <_init>, fini=0x8058300 <_fini>, rtld_fini=0x15563cc4 <_dl_fini>, stack_end=0x3ffff33c) at ../sysdeps/generic/libc-start.c:129 Guessing this had something to do with threading, and noting there is a library libmcop_mt which might mean "multi-thread-safe", I tried changing the links libmcop.so and libmcop.so.1 to point to libmcop_mt.so.1.0.0 rather than the default variant without _mt. That removes the crash, apparently fixing the problem. But I don't know the proper way to solve this. libmcop doesn't appear among the explicit dependencies shown by ldd; I suppose it is loaded via dlopen. But the arts package is completely free from any documentation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): smpeg-0.4.4-8 arts-3.0.0-0.cvs20020314.1
It's fixed in smpeg-0.4.4-9. it works with new arts-1.0.0. You will find them in next rawhide release
