Xiphos Bible Study Software

As mentioned on gnomesword-devel... No one else has ever been able to
reproduce it, there's been no action regarding it in 6 months, no one
currently building GS sees it -- so I'm closing this one. It may be that
this was from the old first-run code that isn't even active any more. If
in fact someone really still sees it, they can re-open this one or file a
new one.

ok, I can pretty consistently repeat this problem now. First
of all, I configure gnomesword with the following:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info
--datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-pspell --disable-gtk-doc
--libdir=/usr/lib64 --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Please note that I have sword-1.5.8 and this is repeatable
with the --enable-sword-svn option.

$ rm -rf ~/.gnomesword-2.0
$ make
$ || ( gnomesword2 ./src/gnome2/gnomesword2 ) #depends on if
you did a make install or not

Initiating GNOME session handler

<gnome error pop-up>The Application "gnomesword2" has quit
unexpectedly.You can inform the developers of what happened
to help them fix it. Or you can restart the application
right now.

Now then, I'm starting to think this is a bug in sword, not
gnomesword, because if I add a debug line or a printf
anywhere in the code before:
OLD_CODESET = (char*)sw_locale->getEncoding();
everything works fine and I no longer get the error message.

Again, this is a very odd error, but at least I've narrowed
down where it's failing now.

Terry, this is the oddest bug I have ever run into. I don't
experience it on many systems, but I do on quite a few.
Gnomesword (and it's the same for 2.1.7) is bailing out in
the src/backend/sword_main.cc in the
BackEnd::set_sword_locale() function. When I attempted to
put in standard printf("debugging messages"), everything
works correctly; my ~/.gnomesword-2.0 directory is created
and the program runs great. However, when I take them out, I
run into this bug again.

2.1.6; gentoo

I'd like to add 2.1.6 to portage in Gentoo, but this issue
is holding me back a little. I can reproduce it on every
system here.

I can't duplicate this.

Which release of gnomesword are you using?

which linux distro?
