Friends,
I am trying to find my way through the LyX startup procedure. The
overall goal would be to get an NT port that does not need any special
startup scripts. So my first step is to try and find out why LyX crashes
when it is started from the command line. I've gotten to the point where
a DebugStream is instantiated. Then the program dies at
0x5d5ce0 in __builtin_new () at DebugStream.C:194
194 }
(gdb) s
Cannot access memory at address 0x2000000.
after that I am not able to get a stack trace from gdb anymore but right
before I get:
(gdb) wher

Well all this does not make sense to me therefore I'd like to ask for a
pointer where to look.
It is clear to me that the environment variables set in Steven's scripts
must play an important role, but where are these variables assessed and
imho the program shouldnt crash if they arent there in the first place.
Thanks for any pointers
Roland (who is positively astonished by the LyX-Code)
