I'll try recompiling without the --even-if-lfroen-complains-this-will-stay switch and see if gdb gives any more info.

Could you post here or pm me your ~/.aMule/shareddir.dat file?

[Attila]

contents of  ~/.aMule/shareddir.dat
yup, it's short and sweet: just one line

/home/jdkaye/Films/

that's it.
cheers,
Jonathan

[phoenix]

Hum, I thought I was going to see some fancy character there...

Just to be sure, do you have a new line at the end of the line?

Anyway, this should not be the problem. I am starting to think it is a wx problem, here is the code:

Code: [Select]

wxString line = sdirfile.GetFirstLine();
do {
shareddir_list.Add(line);
line = sdirfile.GetNextLine();
} while (!sdirfile.Eof());
The crash is in the line "line = sdirfile.GetNextLine();", more precisely, in wxStringBase::operator= (), which is the assignment operator of the wxString class. Another wxBug? Is recompiling wx an option for you?

[Attila]

Hi Phoenix,
Yes, there's a new line at the end of the line. Yeah, I can recompile wx. I see the current stable version is now 2.8.3 and the previous stable version is 2.6.4. I believe I have 2.6.3. Which version do you want me to compile?
Cheers,
Jonathan

[phoenix]

Hi Jonathan,

wx-2.8.3 is the one I currently use here, and seems pretty stable. Please give it a try.

Thank you for your patience.

Cheers!

[Attila]

Hi Phoenix,
I compiled wxAll and wxGTK from the wxWidgets site. Both were compiled with unicode enabled and both are version 2.8.3. I ran ldconfig after make install for each of them. I then compiled amule's cvs20070421 and now it works. This looks like the same problem that Morricone was having (besides the shareddic.dat one). You may want to warn people that we need to install wxgtk 2.8.3 (or at least something later than 2.6.3 - I don't know if 2.6.4 works or not).
My only problem now is that amule can't find my new libraries like libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so.0. I have to manually do LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib and export LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This happens every time I compile the wx stuff. arrggghh.
Anyway, thanks for the help Phoneix.

[phoenix]

Hi Jonathan,

If you want to keep different versions of wx, you have to do some LD_LIBRARY_PATH malabaris.

But if you will keep only one, you can just add the right path to /etc/ld.so.conf.

Nice to know it works now! I will warn Morricone. Thank you for helping us.

Cheers!

[Attila]

Glad to be of help. Always a pleasure. 
Cheers,
Jonathan
