yes it is. > In all cases, 'mtvp -h' seg faults immediately. > normally 'mtvp -h' should just print a help message > and exit. I just checked on my Corel box. You have two version of mtv available: one for glibc2.0 and the for glibc2.1 It works (well runs, I have no VCDs to test with at work) and display help (mtvp -h). Even the graphical intreface works too. That .deb was mtv_1.1.0.20-2_i386.deb When I install the glibc2.1 version (mtv_1.1.0.20-3_i386.deb) it promptly fails. You don't seem to have any dependancy information in your .deb's which is probably a bad thing. Debian 2.1 ships with libc6-2.0.7.19981211-6; Corel has the same version. Debian 2.2 has libc6-2.1.3-7 (currently). Perhaps depending on the right version of the libc6 would be good. Also for the glibc2.0 version you provide an SDL deb, yet it isn't depended upon. > usually when this type of thing happens, it is something > broken with the libraries. mtvp is one of the few multithreaded > applications, and anything broken in the thread support would be fatal > for mtvp. They've installed the wrong version; perhaps updating your ver web site with information for Corel would be useful too. Anand
