I have the same problem. This is on a system newly upgraded from RH 7.3 to RH 9, running kernel 2.4.20-13.9, with xawtv 3.81-6. It looks like the problem is that xawtv is unhappy with NPTL, the new threads package. It works if you use the following command line: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 xawtv Hope this helps.
yes, it looks like ntpl problem. You have to set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 before starting xawtv. LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 xawtv
