Version:           3.0.3 (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.3 
OS:          Linux

Hello,

Kdevelop crashes everytime it tries to open a file. It crashes when trying to open the previous loaded project but also crashes when selecting a file through "File -> Open ...", no matter what it is.

Here is a backtrace:
This backtrace appears to be useless.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creating of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

Kdevelop was compiled with gcc 3.3.3, glibc 2.3.3_pre20040420, qt 3.3.2. At first I had aggressive CFLAGS and then recompiled everything with no CFLAGS to make sure it was not the problem.

This problem occurs with every version of Kdevelop I tried. 3.0.2, 3.0.3, CVS. 

Note that it used to work well a few days ago and suddenly started to behave that way (without me upgrading/downgrading any package).

>This backtrace appears to be useless. 

I'm sorry, but this report not only appears to be useless, it IS useless.

If you had posted this on the KDevelop mailinglist or user forum you would most certainly have gotten several replies on what to try to track down the problem. As it is we have to avoid using the bug database as a help forum, it just creates noise. (Does it also happen if you run KDevelop as a different (not root) user?) 

If you rebuild KDevelop with debug info and manages to convince gdb/dr konqi to give you a workable backtrace, please report it. (You might want to avoid gdb-6.0, at least on gentoo I could never make it give me a backtrace. 6.1 works well though.)

Report contains no useful information. Closing.
