Description Mike Shaver 2002-10-01 00:30:01 EDT

xmms tries to dlopen libartsc.so.2 and crashes if it can't find it.  xmms has no
dependency on arts-1.0.3 (so, using redhat-config-packages, you have to install
all of KDE base!).

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2002-10-01 00:32:06 EDT

Hm, I can't reproduce this.
[notting@nostromo: ~]$ rpm -q arts
package arts is not installed
[notting@nostromo: ~]$ xmms
libartsc.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

<runs ok>

Comment 2 Mike Shaver 2002-10-01 00:35:05 EDT

You'll forgive me if I don't undo the arts install and thereby break my xmms
install, I hope.  Here's some ltrace, though:

xmms_cfg_open_file(0x08143540, 0x0811abc8, 0, 0x4202bdd4, 0x42126064) = 0
g_strdup(0x0811bd80, 0x0811abc8, 0, 0x4202bdd4, 0x42126064) = 0x08143560
g_strdup(0x0811bd40, 0x0811abc8, 0, 0x4202bdd4, 0x42126064) = 0x08143588
g_strdup(0x0811b4c9, 0x0811abc8, 0, 0x4202bdd4, 0x42126064) = 0x081435b0
g_strdup(0x0811bd00, 0x0811abc8, 0, 0x4202bdd4, 0x42126064) = 0x08143060
dlopen("libartsc.so.0", 2)                        = NULL
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2002-10-01 00:49:02 EDT

*grumble* Got it.

Comment 4 Ali-Reza Anghaie 2002-10-01 13:51:59 EDT

Shouldn't bug 74708 be referenced or merged with this one. Perhaps they're the  
same? Cheers, -Ali

Comment 5 Shawn Walker 2002-10-01 14:10:14 EDT

I have this issue as well. I don't have arts installed, nor do I wants arts
installed. I guess I'll have to rebuild xmms from the source rpm now.

Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2002-10-01 14:13:08 EDT

xmms-1.2.7-dlopen.patch, change
  LoadARTSLibrary() < 0
to 
  LoadARTSLibrary() >= 0

alternatively, install arts, start xmms, exit, and then you can remove arts...

Comment 7 Shawn Walker 2002-10-01 14:19:56 EDT

That's what I was going to try doing. I guess the default is to use arts? Seems
silly since Gnome is the default install :) Thanks for the suggestion. Nasty
little buglet for shipping release.

Comment 8 Bill Nottingham 2002-10-01 14:53:20 EDT

No, the default is not arts. the code was just stupidly broken.

Comment 9 Mike A. Harris 2002-10-01 22:10:29 EDT

This happens in 7.1 as well for me FWIW

Comment 14 Need Real Name 2002-10-16 23:02:13 EDT

Hi there.

No, you don't need to install the entire KDE packages. Instead, you can go to
rpmfind.net and download an older version of arts. Just type "arts" into the
search field and download the RPM for RedHat 7.2.

Cheers.

Dan

Comment 15 Ovidiu D. Damian 2002-10-27 02:03:09 EST

Even better, install arts-1.0.3-1.i386.rpm from Red Hat 8.0 CD2. Unless you want
to install the entire KDE base, this needs to be done manually via either the
command prompt or through Nautilus.

Comment 17 Tommy McNeely 2003-01-18 23:20:08 EST

(phoebe) my XMMS wouldnt play...  it defaulted to "arts" .. I changed it to OSS
and it worked fine.. but I always do an everything install :) i guess that makes
me lazy :)
