Version: 4.2.4-1 (using KDE 4.2.4) Compiler: gcc-4.0 OS: OS X Installed from: Mac OS X (Fink) Packages After fink install kate4-mac completed successfully, I started kate.app by dbl clicking on the executable in /sw/opt/kde4/mac/bin. After the app seemed to open OK I went to Kate -> Preferences and the app crashed with the following error message: "kate crashed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT)" Backtrace details are as follows, but this is not the complete backtrace , which apparently stalled: Attaching to process 85990.

I should say the fink install process appeared to be successful.
If at all, this looks like some generic kdelibs problem, therefor assign to kdelibs, but guess without backtrace with debugging symbols, can't be looked at.
