I've been working with the developer on this and we're both out of ideas so
I'm looking for suggestions from experienced C coders here before reaching
out on LQ.
I've run jpilot (the Palm PIM desktop) since the Palm Pilot Personal came
out. It has built and run on Slackware since 8.0 on my 32-bit desktops and
portables. It also builds and runs on my 64-bit laptops. But, when I try to
load it on the new 64-bit desktop it segfaults.
It works for the developer on a vm running a patched Slackware-14.2 and my
new desktop runs a fresh installation, fully patched, of the same
distribution. Why it will not load here is a mystery needing to be solved
because I use jpilot (and the handheld Palm TX) every day for both business
and personal needs.
A few days ago I cloned the repo on the new desktop ran autoconf.sh,
configure --prefix=/usr, make, make install and tried running it:
segfaulted.
Using the command line 'gdb /usr/bin/jpilot' produced these results:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/jpilot [Thread debugging using libthread_db
enabled]

Thread 1 "jpilot" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

There are plenty of search results when searching for 'SIGSEGV in
__strftime_internal () from /lib64/libc.so.6'. I suggest perusing them.
They are unlikely to be related to jpilot, but it still might give you
an idea why there is a problem.
This result from stackoverflow might be relevant. The problem was
incorrectly coded time calls. The seg fault was related to what locale
was being used. I suggest checking for environment variable differences
between the laptops and the desktop. In particular look for differences
in LC_ALL.
