by I have just spent the past few days moving my Linux system from
1.2.1 to the elf version of 1.2.8. I have installed (as best
as I could follow the release.* files) libc-5.0.9, libc-4.7.2,
gcc-2.7.0, binutils-2.5.2l.17, and libg++-2.6.2.5. I also
have a copy of Motif 2.0 from InfoMagic (Moo-Tiff.) Aside from
some minor growing pains, I have been able to get this upgraded
system to perform properly. However, I have come upon a problem
that I cannot isolate. I don't know whether the problem is
in the upgraded libs, etc. or in the compilation of Motif that
I have.
I came across this while trying to compile a net application. It
would compile fine (in a.out mode) and start up ok, however if
I tried to spawn a file selector box through the application, it
would seg fault.
I created a small Motif application that just created a file selector
box and got the same result. It crashes in the Motif code based
upon the following call (all parameters are checked and valid):
Widget fileSel = XmCreateFileSelectionDialog(parent, "file_sel",
NULL, 0);
gdb reports that it seg faults here:
_XmOSGetDirEntries ()
Does anyone have any idea of what the problem is here? Or perhaps,
another newsgroup that I might post this question to, or someone
else I should ask? Has anyone else had a similar problem?
