Is that gtk+ built with the egcs-bug workaround? (the test is to run the 'gtk/testgtk' program that is built along with the libraries, and choose the 'clist' option: it will crash without the workaround). There's a bug in egcs in which functions with a large number of arguments (maybe 8 or 9?) compiled with -fPIC -O2 will crash. Compiling such files -O1 is OK. The only files I've ever seen trigger this bug are in gtk+. I reported the bug to the egcs folks last year and it's in the testsuite (980523-1.c), but as of 2 weeks ago it had not yet been fixed. The workaround for gtk+ is to build with something like this: CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure cd gtk; make CFLAGS=-O1 gtkclist.lo gtkctree.lo; cd .. make This may be a problem for a while.. if egcs hasn't been fixed by now, I suspect the bug must be pretty tough. You can also build that testgtk after the fact to test for the problem: tar xzf gtk+-1.2.0.tar.gz cd gtk+-1.2.0/gtk gcc -o testgtk `gtk-config --cflags` testgtk.c `gtk-config --libs` ./testgtk [hit "clist"] cheers, -Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED]
