[Boa Constr] cvs boa core dumps on RedHat 6.1/wx 2.1.3

[Jeff T. <jt...@ra...>]

Has anyone seen the following behavior?  have a workaround?


first, my configuration:

  RedHat 6.1 (x86)
  gtk 1.2.6
  wxGTK 2.1.13
  wxPython 2.1.13
  python 1.5.2



the problem:

When i try to run the latest CVS version of Boa (or boa 0.0.3)
i get a segmentation fault during startup.  the problem occurs
the first time anyone tries to create a wxImageList (in the case
of running "python Boa.py", that occurs during parsing of
Debugger.BreakViewCtrl)

i assume the problem is some sort of wx startup race condition.
if i add the following code, before any of the imports, in Boa.py,
i don't get the core dump.


#
# XXX sjt - this seems to keep us from core dumping
#
from wxPython.wx import *
class DummyApp(wxApp):
    def OnInit(self):
        return true
dummy = DummyApp()




Although that avoids the core dump, it runs into a second problem, an
infinite supply of the following message, and no windows ever
pop up (i've only ever waited about 4-5 minutes before killing it)


GLib-CRITICAL **: file gmain.c: line 500 (g_source_remove): assertion
`tag > 0' failed.

GLib-CRITICAL **: file gmain.c: line 500 (g_source_remove): assertion
`tag > 0' failed.

I don't know if the two problems are related or not.

any clues?

thanks,
jeff
