Description Alexis Ballier 2009-06-26 19:51:48 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
On, e.g., FreeBSD, we don't have execinfo.h but it is used unconditionally in gnome-session/gdm-signal-handler.c. However a port exists but requires extra linking as the backtrace stuff is not in the libc. A patch will follow, checking for execinfo.h and then if extra linking is needed.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

OS X didn't get backtrace() until 10.5, so the ability to check for its presence (and avoid using it if not available) is good for me too. The fink packaging of gnome-session has just patched it out rather than test-and-#ifdef with no ill effect. It's just one of several ways g-s tries to handle the situation, not a critical or "must-have" part.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
