Hi there, today I've chased down a absolutely odd crash (Segmentation fault while loading) on Scribus 1.1.5
I'm using Qt 3.3.1, KDE 3.2 and kernel 2.6.4-rc2 The first thing I tried was recompiling wihout any kind of optimization (I use Gentoo), but that didn't help at all. Thus I ended up stracing it (which I should have done in the first place), and I saw it crashed while opening some fonts I had on /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript The next thing I did was moving that folder out and, at last, Scribus loaded correctly. Then, I began to move back all the fonts until I found the ones which made Scribus crash. I don't know if any of them has any problem, but you can grab them compressed from: http://www.marcet.info/files/ghostscript-crashing.tar.bz2 Each of these fonts (.pfa all of them) come with a few .gsf files under the same name. I guess they might be needed for you to check them but I have not included them in the attached archive at the moment. If you want a copy, tell me so :) The fonts come from the ghostscript distribution. You can find the original archive on: ftp://ftp.easysw.com/pub/ghostscript/gnu-gs-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz P.S If they don't make Scribus crash for you, do you have any idea about what might be the reason for it to crash here?
