Hi - I can't pinpoint *exactly* when this problem began. I'm running testing (sarge) with a few unstable packages thrown in.
Anyway, I installed the commercial/CD package of the XEphem astronomy program some months ago and have been happily running it since. Last week, however, I started getting a segmentation fault when I tried to run the program. Here is the output of a session I ran with gdb. I have little experience with gdb, and am of course going to continue to dig, but if anyone has any pointers based upon the following, I would appreciate any help. Thx, Glenn Becker chexmix@catbutt:~$ gdb `which xephem` gdb: Symbol `emacs_ctlx_keymap' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking GNU gdb 2002-04-01-cvs Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
