GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 677755
crashes immediately after typing in any cell.
Last modified: 2012-06-09 22:38:52 UTC
I am running Mac OS X 10.7.4. I just upgraded all of my packages through mac ports. Here is my version of gnumeric: [~]$ port installed gnumeric The following ports are currently installed: gnumeric @1.10.17_0+python27 (active) Here is the crash I am seeing: I type [~]$ gnumeric and the program comes up in X11 (XQuartz 2.6.4 (xorg-server 1.10.6)). I type a few characters in any cell of the spreadsheet and hit return. The spreadsheet then freezes for a few moments, and then disappears. Here is the output on the terminal: dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _pcre_info Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libgoffice-0.8.8.dylib Expected in: flat namespace dyld: Symbol not found: _pcre_info Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libgoffice-0.8.8.dylib Expected in: flat namespace Trace/BPT trap I've tried installing older version of gnumeric. Either the problem persists or new problems show up. I've tried rolling back my copy of goffice - that doesn't seem to help either.
You have some kind of compilation problem related to the pcre library which earlier versions of goffice used. You are probably better off reporting this issue to whomever did the mac port. Do you have more than one goffice installed?
I have several installed, but only one is active. Here is what macports has to say about it. [~]$ port installed goffice The following ports are currently installed: goffice @0.8.0_0 goffice @0.8.11_0 goffice @0.8.12_0 goffice @0.8.17_0 (active) goffice @0.8.17_2 I've tried many, many different installations, including removing everything and only having the most recent version installed.
Hmmm. I never had the courage to delete files - I'll try deleting the offending file, all versions of goffice, and then reinstall the recommended version of goffice.
Done and done. No luck. Here's what macports has to say: [~]$ sudo port installed goffice gnumeric The following ports are currently installed: gnumeric @1.10.17_0+python27 (active) goffice @0.8.17_2 (active) Everything is up to date but I get the exact same crash.
(In reply to comment #1) > You have some kind of compilation problem related to the pcre library > which earlier versions of goffice used. You are probably better off > reporting this issue to whomever did the mac port. The maintainer of gnumeric at macports is listed as "nomaintainer". I'm as likely to find that guy as I am to find Odysseus..... I'll post a request there as well. > Do you have more than one goffice installed? See my comments below.
I meant to say - above. I've chatted a bit with ryandesign@macports.org. My problem is now resolved (the new gnumeric has a conflict of some kind with the new pcre). Please see https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34812 many thanks, saul
I'm not sure how to close this, so I'll leave that to you. Thanks again.
