Subject: libgc4: broken on PowerPC
Date: Mon, 07 Feb 2000 14:52:02 -0800
Sender: c...@eskimo.com
Package: libgc4
Version: 4.14-6
Severity: grave
I just filed a bug report against w3m (#57121), which uses libgc4,
but rumor has it that the problem is actually with libgc4, which
is apparently broken on PowerPC.
Basically, w3m segfaults on startup:
diziet% w3m
Segmentation fault
diziet%
Running gdb on w3m-en gets you
diziet% gdb w3m-en
GNU gdb 4.18

This GDB was configured as "powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu"...
(no debugging symbols found)...
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/w3m-en
(no debugging symbols found)...
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I've tried downloading the source package for w3m and compiling
that, but I run into major problems with a missing gc.h. There is
no libgc4-dev package available for PowerPC (although it is listed
in the database). When trying to download it, I get
diziet:/usr/src/w3m-0.1.6# apt-get install libgc4-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package libgc4-dev has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
E: Package libgc4-dev has no installation candidate
I hope that's enough to get you started. If you need more
information, please ask -- I'm more than willing to install other
software that uses libgc4 to gather more data.
Thanks!

Since powerpc fixes have been backported to libgc4, and w3m now
depends on libgc5 instead in any case, this bug is now irrelevant
and should be closed.
