Problem in using mlterm for Oriya (Indic)

[Gora Mohanty]

Hi,
  I have downloaded, compiled and installed mlterm
2.8.0 along with the patch, and have also installed
libind. I have an Oriya Unicode font that is properly
installed (lists under xlsfonts, usable under
gnome-terminal, rxvt-unicode, etc.). I have setup
~/.mlterm/vfont as follows:
ISO10646_UCS4_1=14.-misc-utkal-medium-r-normal--14-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
ISO10646_UCS4_1_BIWIDTH=14.-misc-utkal-medium-r-normal--14-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1

and try to run mlterm as suggested in
doc/en/README.iscii,  viz.,
  env LIBIND_PATH=/usr/local/libind mlterm -X=false -E iscii  -w 14 -m -V -C Oriya
Nothing happens,  the command just hangs and I get no
window.  From running strace on the mlterm command, I
see that just after opening /etc/libind.conf, the program
goes into an infinite loop, with strace showing
futex(0x9dabaf0, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL)   = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)

Any clues? I am at my wit's end.

Regards,
Gora

Since mlterm itself do not call futex() directly, your problem seems to be OS specific.

Would you tell us your environment?
