Antonio Ospite <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (24/06/2008): > Hi, Hi again, > the blender binary provided by Debian crashes with SIGSEGV whenever I > try to add some Text to the scene.

Now, some solutions for you if you prefer sticking to the Debian packages rather than using their binaries): - Downgrade libfreetype6 to the one available in testing(-security), that is: 2.3.5-1 or 2.3.5-1+lenny1. - Apply the patch I attached to my mail to the blender committers list (also attached to this mail) to the current blender sources and build it yourself. I'm waiting a bit since I'm not a Blender developer, and I'd like to hear a bit from them before blindly applying this patch, and uploading Blender, but I'll do so within some days if I don't receive any NACK from them. > The builds provided by blender.org do not crash, so there is a > temporary workaround, but I put the severity to 'important' here > anyway. I'm using the nvidia proprietary drivers, but since the > blender.org build works that shouldn't be an issue. Just for information: their binary works since it's statically linked against freetype, against a version that doesn't have this additional check. Mraw, KiBi.
