hi,

after extensively testing GIMP using GTK-OSX, appearently all GIMP script-fu is broken.

everytime i run command that using script-fu then the script will run, it display UI dialog,

and after i select the setting and klik OK button then it will run but after the script

finished processing the image and will back to main GIMP then it crashed GIMP,

GIMP application will close immediately and at terminal will display error message.

the error message, usually like this:

(script-fu:156): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error Bus error

or

(script-fu:134): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error Segmentation fault

error only happened to script-fu command, for built-in command and plugins command its run ok.

steps for produce the error:

- open image

- select Menu > Filters > Artistic > Clothify

or

- select Menu > Filters > Render > Clouds > Difference Clouds

(this because not all filters functions using script-fu, some of it using plugins)

is this normal? or maybe it only happen with my compilation but there is no error in

compilation process, it status is success. i'm afraid i miss some settings or steps :(

thanks for any info or help about this matters.

Bus errors and seg faults are almost always caused by trying to dereference a null pointer or uninitialized pointer; that's not a bug that shows up at compile time. Since you mention plugins, it could very well be a plugin that is missing or isn't loading correctly.

This isn't really the right list to help you track down the problem, though. You'll get better help from a Gimp list.
