after todays build, it loads but stalls at creating map.

When I run it from the konsole, the following stands out

Install map too large!                                                

If I cancel, it tries again. I cancel one more time and it crashes.

I tried letting it run for a couple of minutes, but it never got past 0%

Crash report

I doubt this is useful (I imagine it is crashing because the maps were never
created) but just in case

Yes, it looks like that. 

I'll have a look into the issue over the weekend and will add some more safe programming. Currently there's a lot of refactoring going on and we've made severe changes in several places.

David: If you rely on this crash being fixed as soon as possible then you can always join us on IRC: #kde-edu.

Otherwise I'll add some further debug statements to be better able to figure out what's wrong in your next build.

Thanks for testing!

I've added some further debug statements. Please update your sources, rebuild and send me your command line output again. Thanks!

New crash report

This is the crash report after canceling the request to build the initial maps.

I guess that marble can't find the file srtm.jpg which acts as an install map and from which the tiles get generated.

Do you have an srtm.jpg file in either of these two directories?

Local Path: "/home/david/.marble/data/maps/earth/srtm/"           
System Path: "/usr/local/share/apps/marble/data/maps/earth/srtm/"                     

If not then the tiles should have been created at compiletime from the sources and there's something wrong there.

You can choose between two modes to generate tiles via configuring cmake with the option

cmake -DTILES_AT_COMPILETIME=OFF ~/marble

cmake -DTILES_AT_COMPILETIME=ON ~/marble

Usually the latter way should be default (and has only been introduced recently). So you might want to try the OFF case.

I added that option (tried both) and received compiling errors.  (It looked like it was trying to install the i18n stuff.)

Based on what you wrote though, I copied that file over to the system path and that fixed the problem.

Thank you.

Sorry, to be clear, "that file" was of course srtm.jpg

As I was finally able to reproduce your issue I've just committed a fix. 
David: Could you maybe remove the install map and the installed tiles in the system path and try to check out whether it works for you? If it does please mark as "fixed" :)

Thanks for your testing!

First Marble hangs when creating map (at 0%). I have to cancel it twice. Than crash.

I hope this is useful.

It crashes even with the version from svn:

Do you build from source or do you use packages? 

The problem apparently is that during compilation the tiles for Marble haven't been created. 
If you add the file

/usr/share/kde4/apps/marble/data/maps/earth/srtm/srtm.jpg

manually then Marble will start however that doesn't fix the problem.

So what you'd need to do is investigate why during the compilation process the Marble tiles don't get generated.

David, it would also be helpful if you added as many details about your setup as possible. 
- Do you compile the KDE version of Marble or the Qt version?
- Which distribution do you use?
- Do you compile yourself or do you use packages.
- Do you install on a fresh system (i.e. has there been a previous version of Marble installed) ?

BTW: If you'd join us on IRC today then we could try to sort out the issue.
We are on #kde-edu (my nick is "tackat" and you can also talk to "SaroEngels" about the issue).

Tackat, I don't have this issue anymore.

Can you mark it solved when you and Dorian work it out?

Thanks

David: Sorry, I meant Dorian actually.

Dorian: I bet you are running openSUSE. If so the bug you have reported is a packaging bug in openSUSE which has been fixed just today.
Please update your packages (especially kde4-marble-data) and tell me whether the problem is still there. 

Best Regards,

Torsten

No new info for almost a month. And in the mean time, KDE 4.1 was released.

I think we can regard this bug as fixed.
