[gentoo-user] Any guess to why amarok visualizations fail to function?

[Kenton Groombridge <kgroombr@charter.net>]

I posted this a couple weeks ago with no answer.  I am still unable to
determine what is going on.

Anytime I select a visualization from Tools->Visualizations menu, I get
the following output and the visualization output window closes.

*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/amarok_libvisual: free(): invalid
pointer: 0x08067f80 ***
*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/amarok_libvisual: free(): invalid

*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/amarok_libvisual: munmap_chunk():

I clicked bumpscope, corona, gdkpixpbuf, gforce, infinite, and so on
down the list for this output.

I have rebuilt amarok and libvisual with very conservative CFLAGS, and
without opengl in attempts to fix this problem.  I am not having
problems with anything other package on my system.

Is there any clue on what is causing this and what to do to fix it?

Thanks,
Ken
