[gentoo-user] InkScape trouble

[gentoo-user] InkScape trouble

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 I did:
 emerge -p -v inkscape

 which gaves me a couple of lines of output but nothing flagged as
 source of trouble, nothing, blocked, masked or such...

 "Ok", I thought, "let's go!"

 emerge inkscape

 ...the CPU was glowing hot for a while....

 then...it was ready.

 As normal user I did:

 #> inkscape

 "Ok", InkScape thought, "let's crash!"

 BADABOOM!

 That's it.

 Please tell me, what I did so badly wrong here, since anything else I
 emerge exactly in the same way in the last days, either works well out
 of the box or failed to compile right in the beginning.

 (PS: I checked for any config-files of InkScape at home and removed
 them several times -- no chance)

 Slightly astonished,
 mcc

not really. PLease start Inkscape from a terminal emulation and post the 
output.

Hi,

 ok, my last post was in fact based on emotions -- being sure that I
 myself has something done wrong (that's why I onyl post the emerge
 command I did...).

 Now, here is the output of inkscape right before it crashes:

Script started on Sun Mar 26 15:11:00 2006
solfire:/home/mccramer>inkscape

Emergency save activated!
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org
with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it.
zsh: abort      
solfire:/home/mccramer>

Script done on Sun Mar 26 15:11:14 2006


But I fear this say as much as my emotional post previously....


Keep hacking!

I've got almost same problem. After removing ~/.inkscape/ error says:

capsel@capsel ~ $ inkscape

Emergency save activated!
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08958250 ***
Przerwane

(afaik "przerwane" = "segmentation fault")

After this I have ~/.inkscape/ with file preferences.xml, and the next error is:

capsel@capsel ~ $ inkscape
/home/capsel/.inkscape/preferences.xml:2: parser error : Start tag
expected, '<' not found

^

Emergency save activated!
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org
with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it.
Przerwane

(...)

I tried to recompile librsvg (mozilla-firefox-bin does not show svg
files), glib, gtk+... as I noticed strange display behaviour (cuting
or adding pixel lines when scrolling pages).
Yesterday I upgraded portage (glibc) but all those errors wasn't fixed.

I don't think it is my fault (use flags/cflags) as it all happend
after emerge -uDN world, but I can't say exactly when and what was
upgraded... Some time ago, 3 months maybe, I had same problem with GTK
(don't know about inkscape) on my second machine but 2 weeks I sold
it. I had same use flags and cflags as on this machine.

Can any one help?

Funny :) , but I think this is not the error message you're displayed 
when inkscape crashes...
Can you post the true error message and not your,ehm,emotional 
interpretation?

Maybe dynamic linking is not consistent on your system:
Try

# emerge gentoolkit
# revdep-rebuild -p
# revdep-rebuild

Do you get any error messages on in your terminal?  If not run inkscape
like this:

#> strace inkscape &> /temp/ink.trace

Post the file /temp/ink.trace

Please, please do _not_ post the file on the mail list unless it's very 
small, use bugzilla for that.
