[Gramps-devel] gramps crashes on Mac OS X

[guylinton <guy...@gm...>]

I have been trying to install gramps (2.2.10) using MacPorts because fink has
not been updated to support the pango/cairo attributes.

Unfortunately, gramps crashes with a protection failure. This seems to be as
soon as ViewManager calls self.window.realize() to draw the first window.
The crash seems to be in freetype when trying to access a font (but I don't
know which font).

I have reported the fault on 
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14750 
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14750 , which shows all
the details.

(1) Has anyone succeeded in getting a recent version of gramps to run with a
recent version of MacPorts?

(2) How is the font to be used chosen during the drawing of the first
window?

(3) I have tried running under gdb, but I don't know how to include the
symbols for the relevant modules in the build so as to be able to display
all the data about the failure. Can anyone help?

I appreciate that this may be related to MacPorts, but it is difficult to
isolate the problem, so I think I need to do more investigation under
gramps.
