Hello, X does not want to stay running for me. Whenever I run startx (or xinit), it crashes within seconds, or a couple of mins at most. The behavoius seems to stop when the machine is reset, but comes back every now and then. I am wondering if someone might know what is going on. The message that appears in the logs when it dies is: Jun 28 11:18:42 simon gnome-name-server[7731]: input condition is: 0x10, exiting. So... I tried upgrading Gnome. Compiled gnome-libs (1.2.3) worked, gdk-pixbuf (0.8.0) ok. Now gnome-core (1.2.1) thinks gdk-pixbuf is not there. Configure script doesnt find it, nor does make, so somethign is wrong. checking for GdkPixbuf library >= 0.7.0... Unknown library `gdk-pixbuf' ldconfig seems to link it (afaik): [root@simon gnome-core-1.2.1] # /sbin/ldconfig -v | grep gdk_pixbuf libgdk_pixbuf.so.2 => libgdk_pixbuf.so.2.0.0 and now gnome panel is refusing to load (keeps segfaulting) What else do I need to do? or can I do? Other things I have tried: including the --libdir=/usr/local/lib in configure options (and --includedir) gdk-pixbuf 0.7.0 (no difference) forced the configure though, make died saying it couldnt find gdk_pixbuf stuff. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks, - Simon -- And the Lord said: "Let there be Windows(tm)!"
