There are two probable issues:
- there was a crasher bug with videoVLC, that was (introduced and) fixed recently
- there seems to be some glib incompatibility with another external. I dont know if this is fixable at all.

To detect which of the two issued you have do:
- make sure you have the latest
Gem from git
- try loading Gem/videoVLC without any other external (and then add externals until you find the culprit)

Yes, I have the latest Gem from git.
It is a problem between gem_imageMAGICK.so and gem_videoVLC.so. When I add gem_imageMAGICK.so in the Gem directory (where gem_videoVLC.so is already in place), Pd crash at startup.

i do have both gem_imageMAGICK.so and gem_videoVLC.so, and i have no crash.
ubuntu 14.04 and Gem from current git.

[jack]

I will try with a new build of Gem with :
$ make clean
$ git pull
$ aclocal
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
And I keep you informed.

I still get the Pd crash (Ubuntu 14.04). Always between gem_imageMAGICK.so and gem_videoVLC.so.

thanks for the additional info.

this is a duplicate of [#217], but given that this report contains more info, i will leave it open (and close the other one)

$ dpkg --list | grep libvlc and $ dpkg --list | grep magick give me the same as Jack but I don't have any crash.

The line #27 of the backtrace says :

<error reading variable: access outside bounds of object referenced via synthetic pointer>

Could this be the cause of your crash ?

[IOhannes m zmölnig]

urgh, this is slightly ugly to debug.

both vlc and ImageMagick have plugin-systems, which get initialized during initialization of Gem's plugin system, and which seem to trigger a conflict.

just to imagine:

• Pd starts, and loads Gem.pd_linux via dlopen().
  • Gem searches for plugins and finds and loads gem_imageMAGICK.so via dlopen().
    • gem_imageMAGICK.so initializes ImageMagick
      • ImageMagick searches for plugins in /usr/lib/.../ImageMagick-6.7.7/modules-Q16/ and loads them via dlopen().
  • Gem searches for more plugins and finds and loads gem_videoVLC.so via dlopen().
    • gem_videoVLC.so initializes libvlc
      • libvlc searches for plugins in /usr/lib/vlc/plugins and loads them via dlopen().

the crash seems to be related to glibc (when (re)initialized by the qt-plugin for vlc's gui)
