gnumeric 1.2.12-12 crashes with a segmentation fault on startup. I am using the binary distribution, stable tree. Below are the steps that led to this. Can anyone help me resolve this? Or is there a different list I should post the problem to? I am guessing it is an installation issue, possibly due to incorrect dependencies. I am running Mac OS X, v. 10.3.5, on an iBook.
At the end of my message I list all packages installed and their versions. Note that same problem was reported by Peter Teunissen at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=9848117 but I do not see that it has been resolved. Thanks!! - Les Saper ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steps leading to problem: 1) I deleted /sw and reinstalled fink in early November 2004: Package manager version: 0.21.3, Distribution version: 0.7.1. 2) Using dselect I then installed binary versions of gnumeric, abiword, and a few other packages (notably emacs21 and tetex); of course many other packages were also installed as a result. Configuration of gnumeric failed since scrollkeeper-update was not found. (Apparently Daniel Macks has added this dependency to version 1.2.12-13 on the unstable tree.) 3) I uninstalled gnumeric, installed scrollkeeper, and then tried installing gnumeric again. This time configuration of gnumeric was fine, but on running the program I received many error messages of the form ** (gnumeric:6338): WARNING **: Unable to load key '/apps/gnumeric/core/file/history/n' : because Failed to launch configuration server: Failed to execute child process "/sw/lib/gconf2/gconfd-2" (No such file or directory) occurred. 4) I uninstalled gnumeric, installed gconf2 (which also brought in orbit2), and reinstalled gnumeric. Now when running gnumeric there were two types of error messages. One type was ** (gnumeric:7280): WARNING **: Unable to load key '/apps/gnumeric/core/file/history/n' ** (gnumeric:7280): WARNING **: Using default value '4' and the other was I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/sw/share/libgnomeprint/2.4.2/glals.xml" ** (gnumeric:7280): WARNING **: Could not parse /sw/share/libgnomeprint/2.4.2/obals.xml or file not found, please check your libgnomeprint installation 5) I uninstalled gnumeric, installed libgnomeprint2.2 (which brought in libbonobo2 as well), and reinstalled gnumeric. When gnumeric now runs it issues many errors of the form ** (gnumeric:8108): WARNING **: Unable to load key '/apps/gnumeric/core/file/history/n' ** (gnumeric:8108): WARNING **: Using default value '4' and finally acheives a segmentation fault: ** (gnumeric:8108): WARNING **: Configured default font '(null) 0.000000' not available, trying fallback... ** (gnumeric:8108): WARNING **: GnomePrint: Requested Sans but using .Aqua ??
