w3m compiled for me on 10.7 where it was a dependency of can't-remember-what, but I guess whatever that was actually didn't use it (or else runs a piece of it that doesn't crash). I just tried it and it worked on a local helloworld.html and several remote sites (both fetch and display) but crashed trying to access nytimes. Maybe there's something noncompliant in their pages or a problem handling some specific type of content? Here's an excerpt the crash-log (~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/w3m_...crash): Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000008 Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 w3m 0x0000000103ed3a5b pushValue + 75 1 w3m 0x0000000103e8b8e5 flushline + 2549 2 w3m 0x0000000103e9008e HTMLtagproc1 + 1246 3 w3m 0x0000000103e93d95 HTMLlineproc0 + 1877 4 w3m 0x0000000103e85d4f loadHTMLstream + 2047 5 w3m 0x0000000103e89e36 loadHTMLBuffer + 182 6 w3m 0x0000000103e839dd loadSomething + 29 7 w3m 0x0000000103e884c6 loadGeneralFile + 6662 8 w3m 0x0000000103e73f9d main + 4989 9 w3m 0x0000000103e72af4 start + 52 Given your experience with gdb, I guess it would have to be debugged with a bunch of added printf and recompilings? There's a -debug option in "w3m -h" that says not to use it, but I did and it didn't tell me anything other than that it crashed. I tried some of the -dump* options, and it appears that the content is compressed (Content-encoding: gzip ahead of a bunch of binary when using -dump_extra). I uncompressed it and saved it to a local foo.html. w3m still crashes the same way trying to render *that*. I tried -dump -no-graph (to distinguish a parsing from a rendering problem) and it hung (whereas worked correctly on helloworld.html). Definitely something weird in the content of that specific page and poor error-handling or sanity-checking in w3m's parser. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.user Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
