GNOMEMEETING 0.96.0 will not run!

[SirronD]

I don't know what category to list this under, so I chose multimedia.

I have a problem with gnomemeeting. It will not run at all on my system. I searched the forums looking for gnomemeeting problems, and don't see one like this, and I also looked in gnomemeetings bugzilla, and I also don't see this kind of problem.

When I try to start gnomemeeting, I get the initial screen and nothing else. My system then goes quickly to 100% cpu usage, and stays there until I kill gnomemeeting. No other windows pop up at all.

Looking in the system monitor (with treads showing), I see under gnome meeting one main thread, and 4 threads under the main. And one of the treads (last started by ID) is taking all of my CPU %.

It will do this as long as I let it run, without ever completing whatever task it is supposed to complete.

In trying to solve this, I did the following:
1. emerge --update --deep gnomemeeting - Which identified nothing needing an update.
2. emerge unmerge gnomemeeting pwlib openh323 - to clean them out of my system completely
3. emerge pwlib openh323 gnomemeeting - to build from scratch at the same time.

And after that, still the same result. The initial screen will show, and then my processor goes to 100%, but nothing else after that.

My system stays fairly current, as I emerge rsync, and emerge --update world at least once per week, and usually more often.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and any suggestions on other course of actiong also would be appreciated.

Thanks

i emerge gnomemeeting with USE="sdl ssl".

also, make sure all bonobo and gconf components are up to date.

what CFLAGS are you using to emerge it?

[SirronD]

here are my cflags

CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe"

I am guessing bonobo and gconf are OK. I never do anything special. What versions should I be at with these?

Thanks

[evidence]

are there any errors showing up? maybe in one of the log files?

[SirronD]

There are no errors in any of my /var/log files near the time I run gnomemeeting.

Also, I emerged again (after unmerge) with USE="sdl ssl". Still the same result!

What should versions of gconf or bonobo should I be looking for in my system (and what packages should I be looking for)?

well, if you're running a stable system (as in not ~x86) then you should have all the correct libraries, and things should be working.

all i can think of is to compile with different cflags see if it makes a diff, like -02 or -march=i686. can't think of anything else =(.
