Hi All,
I sucessfully built AbiWord on AIX-4.3.2 using the GCC-2.95.2 compiler,
however it core-dumps just after startup. I rebuilt in debug mode and it
gives me the following status messages:
# DISPLAY=:1 AbiWord

/usr/local/bin/AbiWord[22]: 21834 Segmentation fault(coredump)
I used various AIX tools to verify that it is reading the file
/usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts/fonts.dir
and is forking the command
xset fp+ /usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts
All the filenames indicated in the fonts.dir file do seem to exist,
but I'm not sure if AIX has any special oddities about these things.
Does anyone have any ideas? I used bugzilla to note a defect, #775
at
http://www.abisource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=775
Thanks,
Ciaran
