*Q: How do I capture bug report information from a segmentation fault? (LINUX)* *A:* Make sure amsn was compiled with debugging symbols, if you installed it using a binary package, you should probably download from source and recompile it. To enable debugging symbols, configure it with : ./configure --enable-debug If you're unable to compile it, then you can still send us information without the debugging symbols. Once it is compiled/installed, go to the directory where you have installed aMSN (example: /usr/share/amsn or /home/yourusername/amsn-0.95/) type:
$ gdb --args wish amsn (gdb) run then when it segfaults type bt bt full You will then receive the bug report information. Please send this information to: amsn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <http://amsn.sourceforge.net/wiki/amsn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> So.... As stated on the FAQ, on the WIKI, I've posted the output of gdb, and have gone further in trying to assist, by debugging the problem to some extent. If this isn't the correct behavior, then please remove the e-mail, and why not, the whole entry from the wiki please. If this was a known issue, listed on the forum, then I am sorry for that, because I've obviously lost my time :) thanks Youness Alaoui wrote: > Does this look like a patch ? how many times should we say this politely and > how many times should we yell > before everyone understands.. for user support USE THE > FORUMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > and this is now getting frustrating especially because this issue has been > answered thousands of times in the > forums, so search! > > KKRT ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
