Your xforms binary was compiled against glibc's predecessor, not glibc. You should upgrade your xforms library. Angus

Hmm, I'm using the latest glibc from redhat (2.2.4). Alas, note htat "failed to share colors" is not my real problem (or so I think) - it's the first message that lyx outputs. My real problem is that the main window appears, parts of it paint (like menus), but workspace painting fails: $ lyx -dbg `expr 1 + 2 + 8 + 16384 + 65536 + 262144` Failed to share colors. Using private colormap a lot of messages from various things... Initializing form_character::combox... Initializing form_character...done Workarea event: DRAW lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught How to get the coredump? Cheers, Kuba

The attempt by xforms to report the error fails because the function it called doesn't exist in your glibc. Allan. (ARRae)

Cannot allocate enough colors ;-) Hmm, it looks like whatever I put an argument to depth doesn't make any difference (putting invalid arguments is not detected either). Still same SIGSEGV.

Using private colormap This is a xforms problem when it cannot allocate enough colors. Try one of the color switches like -depth best, -shared, -private, -depth 8.

lyx 1.1.6 fix 4
Hi, is lyx 1.1.6fix4 supposed to work on a 486 machine? I've recompiled from source rpm (on a 686 machine so as not to wait ages) using xforms-0.89-6, the package works fine on all other machines, but on my 486 laptop it bails out with a SIGSEGV just after startup. The main window flashes for a moment and that's it. The last lines of debug output are $ lyx -dbg `expr 1 + 2 + 8 + 16384 + 65536 + 262144` Failed to share colors. Using private colormap Initializing form_character::combox... Initializing form_character...done Workarea event: DRAW lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught It doesn't seem to leave a coredump anywhere. I'm using XFree86 4.2.0 from RawHide (4.1.0 doesn't seem to work on that machine, 4.0.3 used to but I upgraded), twm as window manager (tried under fvwm2 - doesn't seem to change things). I will try recompiling it at the 486 machine, just in case building the .i386.rpm on an 686 could have broken something (doubt that, the notebook and my desktop run same redhat version, all up-to-date). In any case, any clues about how to enable coredumps in lyx? Cheers, Kuba
