Hi,

Recently upgraded to firefox and installed Ximian Openoffice. When I try to start either firefox or Openoffice, I get this error

Well... there's not really that many ways to fix these segmentation faults... In my experience it is most of the time related to your cflags settings, in other words try rebuilding firefox using different cflags, same for ximian-openoffice, If that doesn't work try installing the binary versions instead. also, if you removed the strip-flags section from the glibc ebuild it might be a good idea to rebuild glibc using standard settings in the ebuild.

i have the same problem with openoffice-ximian-1.1.50.

_Nomad_: what cflags did you use to compile ximian openoffice? i used -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe --fomit-frame-pointer. the first 3 are supposed to be safe, but i don't know about the last one.

finished emerging openoffice-ximian-1.1.51, the problem's gone.

i have the same problem, even with firefox-bin and mozilla. It sounds weird but it came first after i have changed my harddisk.

i have emerged every version, but always the same.
Do i need to emerge glib as well?
