[Chromium-users] "Hello, World" uncaught signal 11

[Xavier C. <xa...@cs...>]

Hi all,

I've just installed the Chromium BETA version on a single Linux/PC node,
but I can't run the first "Hello, World" example. I have done exactly
what is explained on the Chromium webpage, and here is the error message
I get:

crappfaker: "/usr/home/xavier/cr-beta/bin/Linux/fonttest" uncaught
signal=11"

Here are some infos on the hardware:
- bi-pro Intel P4 Xeon 1.7 GHz
- NVIDIA GeForce3
and on the software:
- Linux version 2.4.18 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)
- NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-1541
- NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1541

Before sending this mail, I've tried to understand what is happening. So
I run the fonttest application using the libGL.so library links in
/tmp/crxxxxx under gdb. Here is what happens:
- it crashes in glutCreateWindow()
  - it connects to the mothership (no error message)
  - it then "looks for the system's OpenGL library..."
  - it SIGSEGV in __glXSetThreadContext(), called from
_dl_open("/usr/lib/libGL.so")

Does someone have an explanation or better a solution?

I would have been glad testing some simple examples before going deep
into the code :-)

Thanks in advance.
