Code:
+ 04:47 [msn] connecting to the server              │
+ 04:47 [msn] logged in                             │
+ 04:47 [msn] unread e-mail: 1 in inbox, 0 in folder



Then segfaults any ideas??

Perhaps you could try to uninstall and re-emerge it?
Could be that the binary is fecked up some way..

Well that's the first thing I did. Then I tried an older version, same thing...

Then I tried installing it on my AMD64 laptop (my original box is an old athlon tbird) and unfortunately got the same result. Is anyone else having issues?

It also should be noted that it's just MSN that is a problem

Perhaps a dependency of your msn program is borked.
You could try to figure out the dependencies of that programm (i believe you can use equery to to that),
and then also reemerge them.

Since when did this happen? Did you update some packages (like gcc) or something?

Well still not resolved, and it's just the MSN protocol that's borked. It isn't clear either what exactly needs to be re-emerged to potentially correct this problem. Amsn works fine still. hmmmm.... Is anyone else having this problem???

I now tried a different solution and for now it works

Code:

cd /usr/portage/distfiles
wget http://unkie.org/tmp/centericq-4.21.0.tar.bz2
cp centericq-4.21.0.tar.bz2.1 cemterocq-4.21.0.tar.bz2
ebuild /usr/portage/net-im/centericq/centericq-4.21.0-r2.ebuild digest
emerge centericq


How it works:
with wget you are downloading a patched version of centericq from the web, then copying it to the place where portage expects it, recreating the ebuild files (so that emerge doesn't complain about file size and md5 hashes) and finally re-emerging the patched version.

To undo it it should be sufficient getting the original version from the gentoo mirror and install that again.

Maybe this solution isn't very clean (or even dirty), but at least it works

cheers

I also had problems with segfaults in centericq with msn. If i disabled msn centericq didn't segfault so it was clearly something with msn. The problem for me was that someone sent me an message when i was offline. I logged in to msn with another client and got the offline message and then centericq stopped segfaulting. I had a hard time finding out what was the problem for me but i finally found it on a forum. I don't know if this is the issue causing you segfaults but its worth a try!

maybe centericq should make a patch that allows these messages to go through then. :lol:
