strange problem

[Antonio Coralles <noche suapie reflex at>]

After switching to the GNU autotools a strange problem occured in my 
program [this has at least something to do with GTKMM]:
In my program there are, as usual, two different ways to load a file. 
You can pass a filename throgh argv or you can select a filename throgh 
a Gtk::FileChooserDialog while the app is running. Now the strange thing 
is, that when I load a file "throgh argv", so that the actual loading 
happens before Gtk::Main::run(...) it perfectly works. But when I try to 
load a file after the program has started I experience somekind of 
undefined behavour. Sometimes the prog freezes and sometimes I get 
strange segfaults - but not in the components of the interface, but deep 
down in the routines which are responsible for loading. I eaven have a 
test for loading/saving - and that test works fine. Besides I didn't get 
this error before switching to automake. So my assumtion is that the 
fault occurs at linking time - but I have no clue what it can be. I also 
tried switching from -lboost_date_time to lboost_date_time_mt 
[threadsave version] becuase it seems to me that Gtk is a multi threaded 
library - but that doesn't really help. Maybe somebody here had similar 
problems and knows what to do ...
