"Segmentation faul" ?!

[7085t3r]

Hi,

I compile the Freeciv 1.14.0 sucesfully. When i wont to start freeciv:


2: No real audio plugin present, Proceeding with sound support disabled
2: For sound support, install either esound or SDL_mixer
2: Esound: http://www.tux.org/~ricdude/EsounD.html
2: SDL_mixer: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/index.html
2: Using fallback resources - wich is OK
Segmentation faut




What is goin on?

I'm afraid I don't know all the intricacies of delaing with segfaults, but I can ask some questions that would assist the developers. Based on the question, I assume you're using linux. I also assume that the crash is reproducable.

What window manager are you using?
What version exactly are you using? is it the 1.14.0-beta2 source or the CVS-HEAD source?
Do you have the core file and can you generate a backtrace?

Yes, I using Linux

WindowMaker

Yes, is it the 1.14.9-beta2 source.

Do you have the core file and can you generate a backtrace?

I don't see this file, where is it?

Please start the freeciv client with gdb, for example in this way

gdb client/civclient

(or replace client/civclient with whatever path you have to civclient) then type "run". When it segfaults, type "bt" and post the results. Also run "civclient -d 3" and post the output from that.

hi!
i have got the same problem. i compiled freeciv 1.14.0 and installed it on my redhat linux.
every time i start the client it ends with a segfault after the main window comes up for short time.

so i did what you wrote in your post.

gdb & run:

[ghost101@ghost ghost101]$ gdb civclient

I am also getting a Segmentation fault. I compiled Freeciv 1.14.0 under X11 (0.1, XFree86 4.2.1) on Mac OS X 10.2.3.

The segfault only happens when I try to build a city. So long as I just move my units around, things seem to be fine.
