Hi. Let's try to get to the bottom of this. Are you still experiencing the crash?
My suspicion is that you have some shared library installed that's incompatible with some other component. You say you upgrade the whole system regularly? I'd like to see the list of shared libraries your pcb-gtk is depending on. What does this say: ldd /usr/bin/pcb-gtk It'd also be interesting to get the list of all the packages that provide those dependencies. What does this say: ldd /usr/bin/pcb-gtk | awk '{print $3}' | sort | uniq | xargs dpkg -S | awk -F: '!/diversion/ {print $1}' | xargs dpkg -l Past that, I'd like to get a core. If that doesn't work, we can bring out bigger guns, but hopefully this would be enough. Please do this: 1. ulimit -c unlimited 2. cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern This should be "core" or "core.something". If it isn't, please write "core" into that file, as root. This is non-permanent and would be reset to whatever it was when you reboot. 3. In the same shell, invoke pcb-gtk, and trigger the crash The kernel should dump a file named "core" into your current directory. If I could get a copy of that file, that'd be very useful. It might be quite large so maybe emailing that wouldn't be ideal. Maybe hold off on this, and just send me the output of the two ldd commands above. Thanks much for helping us debug! dima
