Subject: Re:  New: KPovModeler crash in startup

Hi!

Please recompile KPovModeler with debug information
(./configure --enable-debug) and resent me the backtrace.

The KPovModeler call in pmpart.cpp (#8) is correct and not the reason of the 
crash.
Either your kdelibs is buggy (do you use a CVS version, a release candidate or 
a stable release?) or there are some binary incompatibilities between the 
library KPovModeler was linked against and the library it uses at runtime. 
Are you sure these two libraries are the same?

If you have enough disk space and time, you could recompile kdelibs with debug 
information, too and send me the backtrace again.

That shouldn't make a difference (in theory).

Hi! 
 
This seems to be a kde or compiler issue, but not a kpovmodeler bug. I found similar 
crashes for other kde programs. The maintainers all said that this problem went away 
with newer kde versions or different compilers.

Yes, i think the same...

Oh!, and i forget to said you that kpovmodeler works fine in FreeBSD 4.7, 
compiled from ports... so the problem must be in my Linux and/or compiler 
configuration and/or version: it crash again in KDE 3.1.1 on Linux... :-(

Regards,
Ignacio.

What about my backtrace?

It crashed inside dynamic_cast, inside libGLU.so. That doesn't look like a KDE problem.

Wild guess: you're using NVidia's proprietary drivers and libGLU. Make sure they've been compiled with the same g++ version as your KDE.

I am using NVidia's proprietary drivers... 1.0-6629. I compiled it using GCC 3.3.3-7 (RedHat). I couldn't build KDE 3.3.2 using the same GCC. When I did, I got a lot of errors. So, I user GCC 3.4.0-1 (RedHat). I like installing software from sources, but when things get wrong, I don't know what to do...

Well, I tried build KDE again, but I couldn't do it again. I am not a Linux developer. Please, I need your help. I don't know what is wrong in my system. See the attachment below. That is my 'make' output when I try building arts-1.3.2.

Created attachment 9076 [details]
Build error

The 'make' output I have got when I try to build arts-1.3.2.

Ok... I resolved my kpovmodeler problem. Now, it's working... :-)

My GCC 3.3.3 isn't working well. So, I:
# Built my 2.6.10 kernel using GCC 3.4.0
# Built my Xorg 6.8.1 using GCC 3.4.0
# Built nVidia drivers using GCC 3.4.0
# Rebuilt entire KDE 3.3.2 using GCC 3.4.0

After I did that hard work, I tried to use kpovmodeler again and... CRASH!

But yesterday I deactivated the 'RenderAccel' option in my Xorg.conf. Today, I tried to open kpovmodeler again and... WORKING NOW!

It crashes if it can't access to /dev/nvidiactl in my case.  Why does it crash because it can't access to this device ?
