From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; CDonDemand; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011019 Netscape6/6.2 Description of problem: VariCAD 8.2.0.1-1 ran under 7.2 without problems. I upgraded to 7.3 and it no longer runs . I corrected the permissions of the kde2-compat libraries per the bug report and VariCAD instructions and pointed varicad to the kdecompat libraries. When it is run it give a SIGSEV 11 error under kde with the following message: (no debugging symbols found)...[New Thread 1024 (LWP 2204)] 0x420b4769 in wait4 () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #0 0x420b4769 in wait4 () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #1 0x4213030c in __DTOR_END__ () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #2 0x405e1f0b in KCrash::defaultCrashHandler () from /usr/lib/kde2-compat/lib/libkdecore.so.3 #3 0x410b4f75 in pthread_sighandler () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 #4 <signal handler called> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run /usr/bin/varicad 2. 3. Actual Results: program opens with logo and then crashes. Expected Results: Program should have opened and been stable Additional info: Was fine under kde 2.2 and RedHat 7.2. Upgrade resulted in the problem and seems to be related to the kde 2 compatible libraries which appear not to be compatible.
Can you please check if this is the same bug as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64668 ? Does it work if you fix the permissions with find /usr/lib/kde2-compat -type d -exec chmod a+x {} \;

No this is not the same as bug 64688. The fix does not correct the problem.
Since this isn't closed, I would like guidance as to where to take it next. VariCAD had me do an strace and they say the results show the problem is not in VariCAD, but in something external to VariCAD, possibly OpenGL. I have no idea what to do. I have a Matrox G400 video card and other programs requiring OpenGL (like AC3D) run fine. Where would be the correct place to post this problem since it appears to be a one of a kind issue? Right now I am trying to learn other CAD programs to replace VariCAD, and have tried Octree, Cycas, and ohters, but none provide me with the ease of VariCAD. Any suggestions on where to take this would be appreciated. I cannot find an opengl section on bugzilla under RedHat. Leon
it's a close source. You should download a new version of VariCAD from http://www.varicad.com/. There is a VariCAD version for RHL 7.2/7.3/8.0 here. Please get the correct version, it should work for you.
