I reinitialized the drive about a week ago for the sole purpose of insuring
that I was starting over. I installed a system with developer tools but
without Apple's X11 (I *had* installed Apple's X11 the first time I got the
segfault error during the setup of xorg), then installed and updated Fink
from fink-0.24.15.tar.gz, then tried to build and install xorg. I didn't try
using version 24.14 of Fink, because the segfault error had already occurred
once when I compiled and installed xorg under that version. I can't think of
any other more direct course of action to the segfault error through which a
clean start might have been insured. From my experience, I can't imagine
anything that could result in avoiding the segfault error with identical
hardware unless it involves deviation from the above course of action. If
anyone has successfully followed that procedure on the 20" dual core Intel
iMac, then I wouldn't have any idea how to go about explaining why their
result wasn't identical to mine, but I would surely like to know.
I think it needs to be said that htodd's recipe ("install everything
from source and the segfault will go away") is pure voodoo. It may have
worked for him, but so has installation from the bindist for some
others. Up to now, nobody has a real explanation for the segfault of
fc-cache nor a rational method for avoiding it.
It would be good if someone who is getting the segfault could look at it
more closely with gdb and ktrace to find out where exactly it is
happening. The most likely explanation is still either a corrupt cache
file or a broken font.
Unfortunately, I cannot help, because a) when I tried first, I did not
get the segfault (with xfree86 from the 10.4 bindist) and b) the only
intel mac I have access to is a colleague's workstation on which I
cannot break things freely.
