Client crashes from walking around town

Post by Blackadder »

Merely walking around town causes my gcfclient to crash. I get the following message in the console:

[WARNING ] (Library::Gtk-WARNING) horizontal scrolling not implemented
Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)


I am running an 64 bit Ubuntu on an AMD 64 processor. I compiled the client from the latest source code yesterday.

To confirm, this is the gcfclient and /not/ the gcfclient2, correct?

To also confirm, this was the latest CVS as of Jan-25-2006 ?

No I am not using the CVS. I am using version 1.8 downloaded from the main page. I presume that is more stable than the CVS.

It was stable at one point :wink: but there have been a number of changes to the client and server since then. Many of the public servers are running some version of CVS which *could(?)* cause some stability problems with some of the clients.

Not sure if this is the cause of the problem, but there have been a number of updates in CVS for the client since the initial release.

Ex:
2006-01-02 mwedel
x11/png.c: Add same workaround from gtk/png.c to make it work on 64 bit systems.
