The xemacs segfaults you are seeing seem to be related to sandbox. This |
| 6 |
is a problem that is being currently researched by gentoo developers. In |
| 7 |
the mean time, there are two work-arounds: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
1. If you have a segfaulting xemacs you can run xemacs like this to |
| 10 |
avoid the segfaulting: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/portage/lib/libsandbox.so xemacs |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Better yet, define yourself an alias: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
alias xemacs='LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/portage/lib/libsandbox.so xemacs' |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
2. If you feel like re-emerging xemacs, temporarily change the |
| 19 |
FEATURES="..." line in /etc/make.conf from "sandbox" to "-sandbox". Then |
| 20 |
"emerge xemacs". The resulting xemacs binary should no longer segfault. |
| 21 |
At this point you can restore your old FEATURES="..." line in |
| 22 |
/etc/make.conf to include "sandbox" (a good idea). |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
eg. If my FEATURES line looks like: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
FEATURES="sandbox digest noclean" |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
then I change it to: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
FEATURES="-sandbox digest noclean" |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
then "emerge xemacs", then change back to |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
FEATURES="sandbox digest noclean" |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Then run xemacs as you normally would (ie. no LD_PRELOAD setting |
| 37 |
required). |
