[wxperl-users] wxPerl core dumps and lots of them

[Shannon <aqu...@am...>]

Hi,
  I am having a problem with Wx generating segmentation faults. I have 
tried everything from small, custom-built PERL apps to copying and 
pasting the sample programs straight off the tutorial pages. Every 
single program generates a segmentation fault on exit.

  I installed the newest stable releases of both wxGTK and wxPerl, 
myself. I also tried installing wxGTK from the FreeBSD ports collection 
(my system is FreeBSD 4.5-stable, i386).

  I cleaned everything out and went so far as to reinstall PERL on my 
system. Nothing helps. When installing from source, I get these errors 
during "make test":

t/1_load... dubious
  Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b)
   test program seems to have generated a core
   after all subtests completed successfully.t/2_inheritance... dubious

  Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b)
   test program seems to have generated a core
   after all subtests completed successfully.

[...]

Failed 5/5 test scripts, 0.00% okay. 0/132 subtests failed, 100.00% okay.



I have exhausted Google and Altavista on this one, so I am getting a bit 
desperate. I hope I haven't overlooked something obvious or just missed 
a FAQ question, but I don't think that's the case.

Final notes: I haven't tried anything complicated, but the simple test 
programs all seem to execute OK, except for the segmentation fault on 
exit. Also, all of my other PERL programs and libraries seem to work 
fine, so I am pretty sure the problem doesn't lay in that direction. 
"use Wx" seems to be the magic segfault command.

Thanks,
Shannon
