urlview 0.9 segfaults on x86_64
Dario Niedermann
on Linux/x86_64? If I find out that it's not just my system, I might
take a look at the code.
TIA

No one? Can anybody report if urlview 0.9 is *working* for them on an
x86_64 Linux system instead?

I *think* I had it running on x86_64 before...
Silly question perhaps, but have you checked the contents of
url_handler.sh? I really don't know why that file isn't in /etc
or in ~/.urlview; it needs to be edited unless you're using the
ca. 1998 defaults it contains. :)

Yeah, you have a point there.
I actually edited url_handler.sh, but urlview crashes even before
reading that file, as I found out by inserting debugging messages at
different points in the source code.
Reports of how urlview 0.9 behaves on x86_64 would still be welcome.
Thank you.

You know that you can make the segfault create a core dump, right?
Which you then can look at using gdb?

Sadly I've never heard of it.

It was last year when I built it but I do remember the crash on x86_64.
The debian patches fixed it for me.

While looking for a patch, I found the following:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70254#c1
which fixed the problem. I'm attaching the patch for archival.
Thanks to all respondents.

Seems to work fine for me: openSUSE 10.3, x86_64.
