From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Stephen Tell To: Julien Rousseau Cc: guile-gtk@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: Re: problem with (gtk-version-alias gtk) on Alpha (from a newbie) Date: Wed, 10 Nov 1999 15:30:00 -0000 Message-id: References: <19991109233442.5989.rocketmail@web1805.mail.yahoo.com> X-SW-Source: 1999-q4/msg00048.html At a high level, your problem is not radicly unlike the one I had on hp-ux: guile-gtk's dynamic linking is is being difficult. It sounds like somthing is broken with the shared libraries that guile-gtk was linked with, and that in dynlink.scm tries to load in the other case. Perhaps one of the .sl or .so files got removed or corrupted? Maybe you could try using gdb to see where the coredump is occuring. And/or use trace or strace to see what the plain guile case does before it hangs; in particular what library files it is trying to open, if it even gets that far. As the README points out, "shared libraries and dlopening are a very effective time-sink" ... -- Steve Tell | tell@cs.unc.edu | http://www.cs.unc.edu/~tell | KF4ZPF Research Associate, Microelectronic Systems Laboratory Computer Science Department, UNC@Chapel Hill.
