Help! My new install of 1.70 crashes!
FrGord
I'm new to this, but I need help. I've used Krusader for years now,
and found it very helpful. I run FreeBSD 6.x on a pretty decent
machine. In FreeBSD, they have ports with which to install programs,
and 'portupgrade' to upgrade apps to newer versions.
A few days ago, I portupgraded Krusader from 1.60.0 (or so) to 1.70.0_1
(I think). The upgrade appeared to go nominally, but when I tried to
fire it up, it simply crashed. "Segmentation fault" is all I get, no
helpful log or anything. In an effort to fix the situation, I also
portupgraded all my KDE, and that also seemed to go nominally, with no
failures or problems.
I'm reasonably savvy about computers, and not afraid to use a command
line, but I am not a geek. So any poking around I might do at
someone's suggestion, the instructions must be very detailed -- I can't
fill in the blanks.
But your help will be appreciated to help me get Krusader back.
Blessings,
Fr. Gordon Gilbert

Probably your package is wrong.
You should compile the 1.70.1 version manually, or try to get a working
package from somewhere.
There are 3 possibilities:
1. - the package is wrong / or some deps are missing (most probable)
2. - 1.70.1 crashes, CVS not (not all crashfix were ported from CVS)
3. - Krusader is buggy and all version crashes
What to do: try to compile krusader
- Install the kdevelop package (this will install all developer files)
The total size of KDevelop with its dependencies is close to
500 MByte. Take care of it.
After compiling a working krusader you could remove those new
packages installed by kdevelop.
- Download the source
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/krusader/krusader-1.70.1.tar.gz?download
- Compile Krusader
tar xvfz krusader-1.70.1.tar.gz
cd krusader-1,70.1
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure --prefix=/usr/
make
make install
- Start Krusader: krusader
If it crashes, please try it with the CVS version
http://krusader.sourceforge.net/downloads/krusader-cvs-20060830.tar.gz
- If it also crashes, please try to debug
compile a new Krusader with debug options
./configure --prefix=/usr/ --enable-debug
make
gdb krusader/krusader
(gdb)r
---- here krusader crashes
(gdb)bt
---- here the stack trace is listed, send this list to us on e-mail
---- we will correct the bug and krusader won't crash any more :-)))

Maybe Heiner (a Krusader developer) could help you, he uses FreeBSD.
Though, not shure if he is available for the monent.
He also contributes to the Krusader port for FreeBSD.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=krusader&stype=all
Or maybe you could also ask help on a FreeBSD list or forum, if the
cause of the problem is someting distro related, and if we can't help
you.

Frank
