These crashes might be caused by our way of packaging software : by default, all packages in MandrakeLinux are fully stripped.. And it can cause gdb to have a strange behaviour.. Try rebuilding evolution package from the source package and add export DONT_STRIP=1 in the evolution specfile, just after %install line.. It will prevent spechelper to strip evolution and you should be able to have a better stack trace.. You should also check if all your packages are correctly installed.. I had a crash report somehow similar 2 or 3 weeks ago on cooker mailing list by one user who had badly installed packages.. -- Frédéric Crozat MandrakeSoft _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
