Hi!

I need your help (everything is pretty simple, believe me)

First of all, install (yum or whatever method you prefer) the "Vte development" package (it's very small, so don't worry).
In Debian, is called 'libvte-dev', but in RedHat (and derivatives) I think it's named 'vte-devel'. So, something like:

yum install vte-devel

should work.

Now:

wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/X/XA/XAOC/Gnome2-Vte-0.11.tar.gz tar xfz Gnome2-Vte-0.11.tar.gz cd Gnome2-Vte-0.11/ perl Makefile.PL make

At this point, please, modify your '/opt/pac/lib/ex/vte64/auto/Gnome2/Vte/Vte.so' with the newly complied one 'blib/arch/auto/Gnome2/Vte/Vte.so'. So, do:

sudo cp -f blib/arch/auto/Gnome2/Vte/Vte.so /opt/pac/lib/ex/vte64/auto/Gnome2/Vte/

It should work! :)

Oh, and by the way, please, PLEASE, send me your brand-new 'Vte.so' ;)

David.

After this fix i got a core dump after each time i close PAC.

PAC started (pac) with PID 4297

INFO: Using 'standard Gnome2' tray icon
PAC finishing (pac) with pid 4297

And Gnome detects a crash as well.

dmesg pac messages:

  I believe that this exiting crash happens on Ubuntu, over the last 2/3 versions. At least, I get a crash related to libgobject.

Good Job, Thanks for fixing this issue.

Although the segfault is still there, but i dont think its related to this issue specifically.

I just update perl in Debian Testing to 5.22.1. I don't thin there where any vte updates, but I get exactly the same message as the first poster. I've got the newest pac version installed - 4.5.5.7.

Yeah, same thing with Ubuntu Xenial Perl 5.22.1.... Shout if you want the Vte.so :-)

Hi!

Simply:
1- uninstall PAC (the uninstalling process won't remove your connections/settings, so, don't worry)
2- rm -rf /opt/pac
3- Reinstall PAC

;)

Pac is no longer works in latest Ubuntu 17.04 with segmentation fault on launch

Method with Gnome2-Vte isn't working there as well - "perl Makefile.PL" shows error:
MakeMaker FATAL: prerequisites not found.
ExtUtils::Depends not installed
ExtUtils::PkgConfig not installed
