crashes on Solaris (was Re: how to load .gmodel file?)

[Naomaru Itoi]

Thanks, Richard, Manuel.

I installed libxml2-2.4.28, and it seems to parse the XML gmodel file now.  Thank you. 

However, the application doesn't quite run yet.

When I run my CurrencyConverter.app (which I ported from Cocoa sample), I encounter the following:
- "Unable to initialize XIM, using standard keyboard events"
- "loading model file ..."
- "Validation failed: no DTD found !"
- "CurrencyConverter[24881] XFont: selected font: LucidaGrande at 13.000000 ((nil)) is not available." ...
When I ignore these error messages, two blank windows appear.   Then it says:
- "Internal: No can't decode color space NSPatternColorSpace.  creating generic white collor."
- "Illegal Instruction (core dumped)"

Please see the error messages (error.txt) and the output from gdb (gdb.txt).  It dies in _i_GSSimpleLayoutManager__textStorage_edited_range_changeInLength_invalidatedRange_ () .

I have also tried Culculator.app in gnustep-example-0.9.7.  This works fine unless I click the field to put in some numbers.  When I do, it crashes, and according to the log, it dies in the same function   _i_GSSimpleLayoutManager__textStorage_edited_range_changeInLength_invalidatedRange_ () .

What should I do?

My environment is as follows:
OS: Solaris 2.8 on Sparc
libxml2-2.4.28
make 1.5.1
base 1.5.1
gui 0.8.3
back 0.8.3

Thanks.
