RE: Segmentation Fault when trying to make Glib 1.06

Hi Ross,
        Thanks again.

I have listed below the output from "make test" per your request.
Looks like I am a total failure :-)

I'll try the debugging steps you suggested but its getting a little over my
head.
If I figure anything out I will email the list so as to help anyone else
out.
My gut feeling is it is something simple but I am so new to this I can't see
it.

you ever run make test?

it unfortunately doesn't seem to be anything obvious. and i don't have a
system that's having the same problem(s.) the next steps (if you're
still having issues) would be to figure out what code is causing the
core dump.

get core files on seg faults if you're not already
$ set ulimit unlimited

then try to build
$ make

you should then get a core file when it seg-faults. you can then load
this core file with gdb and hopefully get some idea of where things are
going wrong.

$ gdb perl <corefile>
...
(gdb) bt

the output from the invocation of gdb on would be of interest. the 'bt'
will do a back track from the point of the core dump all the way back up
the stack. (it can be surprisingly deep.)

if you want to hop on to irc.gnome.org, #gtk-perl muppet, kaffee, and/or
myself may be able to help.
