Homepage: http://www.lilotux.net/~mikael/mcabber/ Comments and tests appreciated. Working on i386 and amd64. I had a report about segfaults on a snapshot from 6th december (i386), but could not reproduce that. 4.2-stable definetly won't work.Works for me on i386 now. Chatted and tested PPG encryption, both worked without problems. On amd64 it coredumps when there's a ~/.mcabberrc file. Without it, it starts up fine, but gives me the following message: [14:00:27]*Error: cannot convert string to locale. Here's the backtrace when started with .mcabberrc file:can you move the mcabber file to ~/.mcabber/mcabberrc and try again? i can use mcabber fine here on amd64 with the file in that location.Everyone having mcabber segfault should check that their libiconv is up to date: $ echo "hello" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t 646 hello $ pkg_info | grep iconv libiconv-1.9.2p5 character set conversion library Versions below patchlevel 1.9.2p5 won't work, see the comment in the cvs commit. However, the program should not segfault on this condition.You're right. I updated libiconv and now it runs fine! So: mcabber works for me on i386 and amd64!
Setting the right locale does help with umlauts too. In my case this was LC_ALL=de_DE.ISO8859-1. If this is set to a valid locale it will run on older installations with libiconv < 1.9.2p5 (tested on 4.2-stable). I think the error reporting is broken in mcabber, I'll try to patch that so that it does not segfault.
Just in case I attached the port with the changes included that Jasper suggested.
Best regards, Markus
