-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 2005-04-13, Peter Thoenen scribbled these curious markings: > Hello, > > Metacity 2.10.1 and _1 (10.0 worked fine) are failing to build completely on my > system, getting a bus error with the translation database. See below: > LC_ALL=C ../intltool-merge -d -u -c ../po/.intltool-merge-cache ../po > metacity.desktop.in metacity.desktop > Generating and caching the translation database > Bus error (core dumped) This definitely seems to be an issue with threaded perls. I worked around it by mapping libpthread to GNU's pth, which I conveniently had installed because I have gnupg-devel (which I preusme was required for something else which I don't have any more). You can also use the linuxthreads port, which is what Marcin used (presumably; it installs a liblthread.so. Marcin, please correct me if I'm wrong), or you can change your perl to be non-threaded (though keep in mind that that isn't a minor undertaking, and you must reinstall all modules that depend on Perl, including big ones like mod_perl, and then *that* requires that you rebuild Apache. Yick.). I presume further that it's a bug with libpthread specifically and not Perl, because it works fine with linuxthreads and GNU pth. I have neither the time nor the knowledge to look at this, though if requested I can generate a stacktrace.
