Well, Jedd, I'm coming to agree with you. Clearly Knoppix and Debian are different. And clearly, it's mixing the two that causes problems. This was not evident to me while I was poking around for a good way to move from RH to Debian.. Maybe Knoppix should say so, huh?
But right now, I'd really like to find the source of the particular problem... I have managed to "downgrade" my xlibs, xlibs-dev, xlibs-pic to a non-Knoppix experimental version, fix a few problems left concerning links to libXrender(.la .so etc) and have compiled my kdelibs successfully - v. 4.3.0-pre1v4. I installed the 4 new debs I got from dpkg -b, but it didn't fix the original problem which was the crashing of several KDE apps, all with this in the backtrace: ...0x41028bb8 in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #0 0x41028bb8 in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x406e8c10 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.4 #2 0x40647f1c in KCrash::defaultCrashHandler(int) () from /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.4 #3 0x00000168 in ?? () So, I guess it wasn't libkdecore. Must be libpthread.so.0, right? How do I find out what package provides libpthread? tnx, j. ----- Original Message ----- > On Wed December 10 2003 12:46 pm, jerry garcia wrote: > ] I fail to understand this. > ] After running apt-get dist-upgrade > ] what is the difference between a knoppix install and a debian-sid/sarge > ] install?
