I hope there's no c.o.l.x.apps newsgroup where i should have sent this
question to ...

Everytime i start xosview, it stops with a segfault. This happens since i
moved to Kernel 2.0. It compiles pefect, but it doesn't run, even the binary
distribution won't run. xosview starts, appears about 1 second on the screen
and then reports an 'Segmentation fault' ...

I'm using x version 3.1.2 D and converted all the stuff like it was
mentioned in linux/Documentation/Changes ...

I hope, somebody could help me.

  The problem seems to be that at the moment one needs to make sure that
the libc and libg++ one is using on linux are compatable.  The above
configuration seems to work.  A combination of libc-5.3.12 and libg++-2.7.1.4
will also work.  Other combinations will probably not work.  The reason
xosview dies is due to this library compatability problem rather than some
problem with xosview itself.  So, the m*of the story is to make sure that
you are using a compatable set of libc and libg++.

  It is also worth pointing out that when some systems are upgraded to a
new version of libg++ (slackware comes to mind).  You will have two copies
of the libg++ header files on your system.  So, you will be linking with
the the new library and compiling with the old header files.  This will
lead to segfaults as well.  Make sure that you remove all of the libg++
header files from your system before upgrading to a new version.

: I experieced the same problem, until I figured out libc-5.2.18 +
: libg++2.7.0 work with xosview-1.4.1. Maybe it works with libc later
: than 5.2.18 also, but it definitly doesn't work with libg++ later than
: 2.7.0.

        Sorry to burst your bubble, but I have kernel-2.0.0, libg++-2.7.1
        and working XOSview. libc is 5.2.18. Can't help with the compiling
        tho, I installed the xosview straight from redhat rpm binary.
