xiTK refers to the XIne ToolKit, it is xine's user-interface
library, and is why I suspected a skin or visualization problem.

I have no really good idea of what to do next.  From googling around it
seems that there is no single answer to this problem.  Some more things
to try are:

1. Try different --video-driver and --audio-driver options with xine.

2. Try the ~x86 versions of xine-ui and xine-lib:
echo media-libs/xine-lib ~x86  /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo media-video/xine-ui ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords
(You'll probably have to add some other dependant packages as well...)

3. Try different GCC versions (3.3.5, 3.4.3, etc) or different
CFLAGS/-march options.

 Hi all,
 I posted this problem a few weeks ago and had no replies.  I have tried
 all sorts including re-installation of xine-lib 1.0-r2 and xine-ui
  0.99.3 but I always get the same error:-
 
 snip 
 
 xiTK received SIGSEGV signal, RIP.
 Aborted
 
 What does xiTK refer to?
 I am at a loss now, can anybody help???  PLEASE
 
 What USE flags do you build xine-ui and xine-lib with?  Mine are:
 
 snip
 [ebuild   R   ] media-video/xine-ui-0.99.3  +X +aalib -directfb -lirc +nls
  0 kB
 [ebuild   R   ] media-libs/xine-lib-1.0-r2  +X -aac +aalib +alsa
  (-altivec) +arts -cle266 -debug -directfb +dvd -dxr3 +esd -fbcon -ffmpeg
  +flac -gnome -i8x0 +ipv6 -libcaca -mng +nls -nvidia +opengl +oss +png
  +samba +sdl -speex -theora +v4l-vidix +vorbis -win32codecs -xinerama +xv
  -xvmc 0 kB
 
 Also, what CFLAGS do you have in /etc/make.conf?
 
 CFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
 CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu

 Two suggestions.  First, try moving/deleting the ~/.xine directory.  I
 am thinking that you might be using a non-default UI skin, or you have
 some other configuration problem.  If that doesn't help, try rebuilding
 xine-lib with USE=-opengl -oss.  OpenGL can cause some problems in
 some applications, and OSS is just not necessary anymore.  You could
 also try disabling v4l, which is not needed for playback.

 HTH.
