Nope, it seems to cough up with other PDFs than my test file, too. Plus, the other developers either don't have the problem or have the same – so I'm guessing it's not the file. > Would a compilation for an older version of Mac OSX work better? > > http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=swftools I'd rather not use MacPorts – it's always screwed with my system in big ways. Plus, it doesn't get along too well with Homebrew which I use for managing all my packages. > Just maybe Homebrew is causing the issues.

I'm also kind of ruling out Homebrew as the bad buy because as I've indicated I've also tried compiling it manually, i.e. cloning the git repository and then running configure and make. It fails when trying to patch things (i.e. running the inject-xpdf.pl script) because the required patches are not there. If I manually copy the patches there, the patch stage is successful but make aborts later (I'd have to doublecheck on the error but it was also xpdf-related). > You could try.. > > - re-compressing the existing version of xpdf, and dropping it into the > appropriate directory of the Git version. Did that – doesn't work. > - the original source code version of 0.9.1? 0.9.1 compiles just fine but segfaults in both cases, when compiled manually or via Homebrew. Thanks anyway! Maybe someone else can help. - Clemens
