Description David Ronis 2012-02-10 20:41:56 UTC

I've rebuilt/installed g-c-c as part of moving to gnome-3.3.5.    It compiles fine, but when I run g-c-c it crashes with a SIGSEGV.   There is no console output.  I also tried the git/master, with the same result.

Here's a backtrace:

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Comment 1 Baste 2012-02-16 20:38:06 UTC

Hi
I had the same problem of segfault with g-c-c-3.3.5.
I recompile g-c-c without the cheese support and i have not any problem now.
Hoping that it have solved your problem
see you soon.

Bonjour Baste,

Merci! Je va essayer dans quelques instantes.    (En Quebec, nous parlons francais).

Comment 3 David Ronis 2012-02-17 00:09:53 UTC

OK, I tried the suggestion in comment 1.    Indeed g-c-c now maps.  However some functionalities are broken (e.g.,  "Date and Time" and "User Accounts").
