SEQ seqfaults on start

[Korre]

I have installed all packages as you should i believe, ive used gcc3 for compiling QT and all other things, still it segfaults at startup. Im running on a rh7.3 distro atm and "stole" the gcc3 rpm's from a 6.2 update, i think that should work anyhow tho.
Any help / suggestion on the problem is most welcome ! ;)


When i run showeq with =

./showeq eth0 --ip-address=x.x.x.x

i get the following =

Using config file '/usr/local/share/showeq/showeq.xml'

I wouldnt put my money on that.. You safest bet is to download the gcc3 sources, and build it. There may be RPMs to be found on rpmfind or other places, try searching there first. There are also quite a few threads on this forum related to this, you might want to read some (atleast one?) of those.

Thank you, drive through.

Ive read about 15 before i even considerd posting, i do not like wasting time waiting on ppls reply, therefor i read before i post.

Just that it wasnt included that ive read posts doesnt mean i havnt.

Tnx on the input tho.

[Korre]

It was ofcourse a gcc3 from rh7.2 and not 6.2 since gcc3 wasnt shipped with 6.2.

[fryfrog]

ah, i think most people use the gcc3 from rh 7.2 :)

this is most current cvs?

it looks like you might be starting eq, then starting seq. have you tried starting seq THEN logging in? same thing?

[Korre]

It is the same problem when starting logged off as logged on and it is cvs from yesterday so i think that should be up2date =/

When you install gcc3 and g++3 with rpms from 7.2 and then rpm -e gcc and g++ the gcc and g++ binaries are not removed from /usr/local/bin but from all other places, ./configure with showeq chooses the gcc and g++ from /usr/local/bin as default so what you have to do AFTER youve ran ./configure is to change ANY reference to gcc and g++ to gcc3 and g++3 in the following files=
showeq/Makefile
showeq/src/Makefile
showeq/maps/Makefile
showeq/conf/Makefile

And viola you should be up and running.

This is the single thing i did that was not in the INSTALL.newbies and so on.

Thanks for all the help ppl, have a nice day and start using them rh7.3 installs now ;)

[fryfrog]

you do NOT need to rpm -e ANYTHING. gcc and gcc3 can co-exist w/o any problems. also, if he is getting seg faults when he runs it, it means he has passed ./configure && make && make install. that means it found gcc3 :)

but i'm glad that solved your problem.

[Korre]

It probably found gcc3 and gcc even tho it was rpm -e'd and it used gcc as DEFAULT which fucked up the abi cause qt was compile with gcc3.

If you just do:

export CC=gcc-3.2
export CXX=g++-3.2

(replace "3.2" with your version)

before ./configure, you're sure to use the correct binaries.

You can re-configure by deleting config.cache and running ./configure again. If you already compiled, do a "make clean" before make.
