Re: apps segfaulting on FreeBSD 8.0

[James Mahoney]

Hi again,

I just compiled batmon from ports and it runs generally (though w/o battery 
info, must be apm/acpi issue, i.e. I have acpi disabled currently) and only 
gives a Segmentation fault when I click on "Info Panel."

Hopefully that will help narrow down the problem.  David asked earlier for a 
stack trace, so I sent him the following.  I really don't know how to get a 
stack trace so I just did the exact thing this wiki said: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces#Obtaining_a_stack_trace_from_a_core_dump

% gdb Gorm Gorm.core
Reading symbols... (this all looked tame until this very last one, or I suppose 
the last one is normal too and the debugging info just starts immediately on 
the next line.)

Reading symbols from /libexec/ld-elf.so.1...done.

David (sorry for the double reply),

I do have /proc mounted now, from boot via /etc/fstab.  Terminal and Gorm still 
segfault as before.

Do you have /proc mounted?  I believe that the ports require this.  

I haven't tried the ports for a while, but I'm fairly sure I was using the svn 
revision that became the release on ports on FreeBSD.  You might try compiling 
from source - current svn definitely does work (or did three days ago, I've not 
updated since then) on FreeBSD 8.
