Comment 2 Cody Russell 2004-04-04 01:15:13 UTC 
I was told it's better to put the backtrace in the bug report itself rather than
as an attachment, so here it is:

(gdb) run

(no debugging symbols found)...

By the way, this is while running on AMD64 in Gentoo.  I mentioned this when
filing the bug report initially, but I don't see it on here now and I want to
make sure you know since it could be the issue.

You said you're starting epiphany, but the trace has




+
Trace
    45680






    

  • 
#12
ephy_nautilus_view_new_component

    • 








Can you please recompile epiphany (and glib and gtk+) with debugging symbols to
get a better trace?

I cant look at the code right now. Maybe ephy_nautilus_view_new_component is 
just used for the registration of the bonobo component ? In that case it's 
done every time at startup, not only when creating a view object for real.

What do you mean "recompile with debugging symbols"?  Those are debugging
symbols up there.

To get this backtrace, I'm running "gdb epiphany-bin".  I'm not executing it
from within Nautilus or anything.

I mean with full debuggin infos, so that the trace shows the function call
arguments and the source code line numbers.

I'm not sure off hand how to build that in.  What additional CFLAGS should I
use?  I currently have my CFLAGS set to "-g3"

My apologies.. I just learned how to get Gentoo to not strip stuff.  So here is
a better backtrace for you.

(gdb) run

Sorry, I was out of town for a few days.  I applied this patch and it appears to
have fixed the problem.  Epiphany started up correctly.

Okay, and also do the same thing to line 622 for the disconnection.  This fixes
a crasher that occurs when trying to add bookmarks.
